Definition For Discrete-time Systems
The definition for discrete-time systems is almost identical to that for continuous-time systems. The definition below provides this, using an alternate language commonly used in more mathematical texts.
Let be a metric space and a continuous function. A point is said to be Lyapunov stable, if, for each, there is a such that for all, if
then
for all .
We say that is asymptotically stable if it belongs to the interior of its stable set, i.e. if there is a such that
whenever .

Famous quotes containing the words definition and/or systems:
“The physicians say, they are not materialists; but they are:MSpirit is matter reduced to an extreme thinness: O so thin!—But the definition of spiritual should be, that which is its own evidence. What notions do they attach to love! what to religion! One would not willingly pronounce these words in their hearing, and give them the occasion to profane them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.”
—Anne Sullivan (1866–1936)
