Kellett %A Peter M. Dower %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X Input-to-state stability (ISS) and $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain are well-known robust stability properties that continue to find wide application in the analysis and control of nonlinear dynamical systems and their interconnections. We investigate the relationship between ISS-type and $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain properties, demonstrating several qualitative equivalences between these two approaches. We subsequently present several new sufficient conditions for the stability of interconnected systems derived by exploiting these qualitative equivalences. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.0134v1
