A small-gain theorem for almost global convergence of monotone systems

A small-gain theorem is presented for almost global stability of monotone control systems which are open-loop almost globally stable, when constant inputs are applied. The theorem assumes “negative feedback” interconnections. This typically destroys the monotonicity of the original 6ow and potentially destabilizes the resulting closed-loop system. c
