NONLINEAR CONTROL SYSTEM STABILITY VIA THE SECOND METHOD OF LYAPUNOV,

Abstract

The 'second method of Lyapunov' is, at present, the most general approach to investigating the stability of ordinary differential equations (linear or nonlinear with time varying coefficients). This disseration was primarily concerned with two areas: (1) To communicate to the engineer the basic principles of Lyapunov and (2) To demonstrate a rather general, but concise, approach to applying Lyapunov to the study of control systems.
