Factorizations and partial contraction of nonlinear systems

In this paper, we introduce new results in the analysis of convergence of nonlinear systems. The point of view we take is the one of contraction theory and we focus in particular on convergence to smooth manifolds. A main characteristic of contraction theory is that it does not require nor use any k...
