Input-to-state stability and integral input-to-state stability of nonlinear impulsive systems with delays

This paper is concerned with analyzing input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral-ISS (iISS) for nonlinear impulsive systems with delays. Razumikhin-type theorems are established which guarantee ISS/iISS for delayed impulsive systems with external input affecting both the continuous dynamics and the discrete dynamics. It is shown that when the delayed continuous dynamics are ISS/iISS but the discrete dynamics governing the impulses are not, the ISS/iISS property of the impulsive system can be retained if the length of the impulsive interval is large enough. Conversely, when the delayed continuous dynamics are not ISS/iISS but the discrete dynamics governing the impulses are, the impulsive system can achieve ISS/iISS if the sum of the length of the impulsive interval and the time delay is small enough. In particular, when one of the delayed continuous dynamics and the discrete dynamics are ISS/iISS and the others are stable for the zero input, the impulsive system can keep ISS/iISS no matter how often the impulses occur. Our proposed results are evaluated using two illustrative examples to show their effectiveness.
