Abstract

Small gain theorems are used to verify the stability of a feedback interconnection of causal stable systems. In this work, we extend the small gain condition to test the stability of a feedback interconnection of two stable systems at least one of which is non-causal. This result may find application in the robust controller design for time-delay systems.
