LINEAR SYSTEM STABILITY 179 4.3 Lyapunov Stability of Linear Systems

There is no general procedure for finding the Lyapunov functions for nonlinear systems, but for linear time invariant systems, the procedure comes down to the problem of solving a linear algebraic equation, called the Lyapunov algebraic equation. In view of (4.26a) and (4.26b), a linear time invariant system is stable if one ................
