ABSTRACT
The Popov criterion for the stability of linear, time-invariant, finite-dimensional systems with a single non-linearity has been generalized by a numbers of authors through a relaxation of the single non-linearity and the finite-dimensional constraints in order to be applicable to a wider range of practical problems. This paper extends these results further by relaxing the time-invariant constraint. It is shown that a covariance condition when satisfied is a sufficient condition for the system output to be bounded and square integrable for zero input conditions.
