Quadratic Lyapunov functions for linear systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
The paper deals with the existence of a quadratic Lyapunov function V = x′P(t)x for an exponentially stable linear system with varying coefficients described by the vector differential equation The derivative dV/dt is allowed to be strictly semi-(F) and the locus dV/dt = 0 does not contain any arc of the system trajectory. It is then shown that the coefficient matrix A(t) of the exponentially stable system is not identically equal to a unit matrix multiplied by a scalar. The result subsumes that of Lehnigk(1).
