Internal Stability Definitions A LTIC system is asymptotically stable if, and only if, all the characteristic roots are in the left-half plane (LHP). The roots may be simple or repeated. A LTIC system is unstable if, and only if, any of the following conditions hold At least one root in the right-half plane (RHP) Repeated roots on the imaginary axis A LTIC system is marginally stable if, and only if, there are no RHP roots, and there are some unrepeated (simple) poles on the imaginary axis Lecture 10. 6
External Stability Definition A system is said to be bounded-input boundedoutput (BIBO) stable if, for zero initial conditions, every bounded input yields a bounded output ut () G () p s yt () BIBO stability means that if u(t) C 1 < for all t, then y(t) C 2 < for all t, where C 1 and C 2 are finite constants Lecture 10. 7
