Stability of discrete-time systems joined with a saturation operator on the state-space: Yet another version of Liu–Michel's criterion

A novel criterion for the global asymptotic stability of fixed-point state-space digital filters using saturation arithmetic is presented. The criterion, which is basically a new version of an earlier criterion due to Liu and Michel, is a generalization and improvement over a recently reported criterion. The generalization is due to the fact that the use of even unsymmetric Lyapunov matrix P is permitted. An example illustrating the improvement realized from the present criterion is given.
