Abstract

We derive a sufficient condition for κ-contraction in a generalized Lurie system (GLS), that is, the feedback connection of a nonlinear dynamical system and a memoryless nonlinear function. For κ=1, this reduces to a sufficient condition for standard contraction. For κ=2, this condition implies that every bounded solution of the GLS converges to an equilibrium, which is not necessarily unique. We demonstrate the theoretical results by analyzing κ-contraction in a biochemical control circuit with nonlinear dissipation terms.
