Abstract

We derive a sufficient condition for k-contraction in a generalized Lurie system (GLS), that is, the feedback connection of a nonlinear dynamical system and a memoryless nonlinear function. For k=1, this reduces to a sufficient condition for standard contraction. For k=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 k-contraction in a biochemical control circuit with nonlinear dissipation terms.
