“…Let a i be the largest eigenvalue of M T i + M i , a = max{a i }, 𝜉 i be the largest eigenvalue of N T i N i , 𝜉 = max{𝜉 i }, i = 1, 2, … , p, 𝜐(t ) is nonnegative and piecewise continuous in (t k , s k ], k ∈ ℕ + . The system (15) is semi-globally asymptotically stable if there exists a constant ℏ > 1 satisfies (i) a ≥ 0, (ii) 𝜐 2 (s k )𝜉e a(t k −s k−1 ) ≤ 1 ℏ . Remark 14.…”
