Dissipativity, Stability, and Connections: Progress in Complexity

Energy-related concepts, such as passivity, dissipation, and energy storage, are appealing and widely appreciated in the study of physical systems. The theory of dissipativity (see “Summary”) enables such properties in abstract system descriptions and can lead to significant progress in the study of dynamic properties and stabilization. The key early result is the celebrated Kalman–Yakubovich–Popo...
