On ISS with respect to average value of disturbances: a time-delay approach

For input-affine nonlinear dynamical systems, an input-to-state stability analysis with respect to (weighted) average values of exogenous perturbations is proposed. The time-delay method is used to represent the system in a suitable form for investigation: a kind of neutral-type differential equation. The introduced approach allows the asymptotic gains with respect to zero-mean periodic signals to be evaluated for nonlinear systems (an analogue of Bode magnitude plot), as well as for integral input-to-state stable systems with periodic inputs. The results are illustrated on the class of homogeneous systems.
