The paper introduces sufficient conditions for input-to-state stability (ISS) of a class of impulsive systems with jump maps that depend on time. Such systems can naturally represent an interconnection of several impulsive systems with different impulse time sequences. Using a concept of ISS-Lyapunov function for subsystems a small-gain type theorem equipped with a new dwell-time condition to verify ISS of an interconnection has been proven.

In this paper, the problem of stability analysis of a large-scale interconnection of nonlinear systems for which the small-gain condition does not hold globally is considered. A combination of the small-gain and density propagation inequalities is employed to prove almost input-to-state stability of the network.

This work provides an example that motivates and illustrates theoretical results related to a combination of small-gain and density propagation conditions. Namely, in case the small-gain fails to hold at certain points or intervals the density propagation condition can be applied to assure global stability properties. We repeat the theoretical results here and demonstrate how they can be applied in the proposed example.

Small-gain conditions used in analysis of feedback interconnections are contraction conditions which imply certain stability properties. Such conditions are applied to a finite or infinite interval. In this paper we consider the case, when a small-gain condition is applied to several disjunct intervals and use the density propagation condition in the gaps between these intervals to derive global stability properties for an interconnection. This extends and improves recent results from [1].

The paper develops new sufficient conditions for synchronization of a network of $N$ nonlinearly coupled Chua oscillators interconnected via the first state coordinate only. The nonlinear coupling strength is governed by a function residing within a sector, i.e. it is bounded from above and below by linear functions. The derived sufficient conditions provide a trade-off between the characteristics of the sector and the interconnection topology of the network to guarantee the synchronization of the oscillators.
