Weak input-to-state stability: Characterizations and counterexamples

We establish characterizations of weak input-to-state stability for abstract dynamical systems with inputs, which are similar to characterizations of uniform and of strong input-to-state stability established in a recent paper by A. Mironchenko and F. Wirth. We also investigate the relation of weak input-to-state stability to other common stability concepts, thus contributing to a better theoretical understanding of input-to-state stability theory.
