BIBO Stability

In signal processing, specifically control theory, BIBO stability is a form of stability for linear signals and systems that take inputs. BIBO stands for Bounded-Input Bounded-Output. If a system is BIBO stable, then the output will be bounded for every input to the system that is bounded.

A signal is bounded if there is a finite value such that the signal magnitude never exceeds, that is

for discrete-time signals, or
for continuous-time signals.

Famous quotes containing the word stability:

    Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society, and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life.
    Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
