Volume One: Stability of Motions: The Role of Multicomponent Liapunov’s Functions

Description The book sets out a new approach to solution of the problem of constructing Liapunov’s functions for three classes of systems of equations. This approach is based on the application of matrix-valued function as an appropriate tool for scalar or vector Liapunov function. Contents include: Stability analysis of continuous systems; stability analysis of discrete-time systems; stability in functional differential systems; stability analysis of impulsive systems; applications. The volume is intended for postgraduate students, applied physicists, researchers in aerospace, control and electrical engineers, industrial engineers and performance analysts
