| | BIBO Stability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | A BIBO (bounded-input bounded-output) stable system is a system for which the outputs will remain bounded for all time, for any finite initial condition and input. |
 | | A continuous-time linear time-invariant system is BIBO stable if and only if all the poles of the system have real parts less than 0. |
 | | BIBO stability requires that the output remain bounded for all time, for all initial conditions and inputs - not just for some specific initial condition and input. |
