A small-gain theorem for motone systems with multivalued input-state characteristics

We provide a small-gain theorem for feedback interconnections of monotone input-output systems with multi-valued input-state characteristics. This extends a small-gain theorem of Angeli and Sontag for monotone systems with singleton-valued characteristics. We prove our theorem using Thieme\u27s convergence theory for asymptotically autonomous systems. We also provide an illustrative example. © 2006 IEEE
