Some properties of solutions of the semi-state model for nonlinear nonstationary systems

Certain properties of solutions similar to set invariance, set attractivity, boundedness, BIBO stability, etc. are investigated for the semistate model $$P(t)\dot x = M(t,x)x + D(t,x)u,y = q(t,x,u).$$ For systems considered, it is assumed that the reduction to a normal form of lower order is not possible. Using the direct method of Liapunov, the properties of solutions are investigated without actual knowledge of solutions.
