On input-output stability of time-varying nonlinear systems

In this work the question of bounded input-output stability of systems is investigated. The main tool of analysis is the generalized impulse response representation. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the operator are given. The analysis is carried out first for the linear operator and then the nonlinear operator is pursued. As is expected, difficulties are encountered for the nonlinear operator which do not occur for the linear case.
