Abstract

We consider contractive systems whose trajectories evolve on a compact and convex state-space. It is well-known that if the time-varying vector field of the system is periodic then the system admits a unique globally asymptotically stable periodic solution. Obtaining explicit information on this periodic solution and its dependence on various parameters is important both theoretically and in numerous applications. We develop an approach for approximating such a periodic trajectory using the periodic trajectory of a simpler system (e.g. an LTI system). Our approximation includes an error bound that is based on the input-to-state stability property of contractive systems. We show that in some cases this error bound can be computed explicitly. We demonstrate our results using several examples from systems biology.
