Abstract

This paper presents a Lyapunov formulation of the small-gain theorem for the finite-time input-to-state stability (FTISS) of an interconnected nonlinear system composed of two or more FTISS subsystems. In addition, an FTISS-Lyapunov function for the interconnected system is constructed from the FTISS-Lyapunov functions of the subsystems. With respect to the previously developed nonlinear, Lyapunov-based small-gain theorem restricted to input-to-state stability, a new power-function-based scaling technique is proposed to deal with the challenge that a nonlinearly scaled FTISS-Lyapunov function may not retain a decreasing rate as a power function with a positive power less than one.
