184 CHAPTER 7. INPUT-TO-STATE STABILITY<br />

Under these conditions, the problem to be studied in this chapter is as follows. Given<br />

that in the absence of external inputs (i.e., u = 0) the equilibrium point x = 0 is asymptotically<br />

stable, does it follow that in the presence of nonzero external input either<br />

(a) limt_,,,,, u(t) = 0 =: limt__,,,,) x(t) = 0 ?<br />

(b) Or perhaps that bounded inputs result in bounded states ?, specifically, IIuT(t)Ile_ <<br />

J, 0
