Dissipativity, Convexity and Tight O'Shea-Zames-Falb Multipliers for Safety Guarantees

Abstract: We develop a novel convex parametrization of integral quadratic constraints with a terminal cost for subdifferentials of convex functions, involving general O'Shea-Zames-Falb multipliers. We show the benefit of our results for the reduction of conservatism of existing techniques, and sketch applications to the analysis of optimization algorithms or the stability analysis of neural network controllers. The development is prepared by providing a novel link between the convex integrability of a multivariable mapping and dissipativity theory.
