Abstract
We present sufficient conditions for semi-global incremental input-to-state stability of a class of forced discrete-time Lur'e systems. The results derived are reminiscent of well-known absolute stability criteria such as the small gain theorem and the circle criterion. We derive a natural sufficient condition which guarantees that asymptotically (almost) periodic inputs generate asymptotically (almost) periodic state trajectories. As a corollary, we obtain sufficient conditions for the converging-input converging-state property to hold.
