Everything about Exponential stability

Continuous-time linear system with only negative real parts

In control theory, a continuous linear time-invariant system (LTI) is exponentially stable if and only if the system has eigenvalues with strictly negative real parts. A discrete-time input-to-output LTI system is exponentially stable if and only if the poles of its transfer function lie strictly within the unit circle centered on the origin of the complex plane. Systems that are not LTI are exponentially stable if their convergence is bounded by exponential decay. Exponential stability is a form of asymptotic stability, valid for more general dynamical systems. Wikipedia →
