description

In this paper, some small-gain conditions are presented for stochastic network systems which can describe many large-scale systems with interconnections, nonlinear behaviors, uncertainties and random disturbances. One subsystem is selected as monitor with the requirement that the gains to other systems are smooth concave functions. The relations of members under the supervise of the monitor are described as bilateral plus multilateral relations of gains. For the deterministic case, the requirement on the monitor can be removed. To demonstrate the power of this result, the small-gain conditions cover interconnected system with two subsystems as a special case. Compared with the existing results, the main character is that the forward completion of system and ultimate uniform boundedness of input are removed from conditions of small-gain theorems.
