Asymptotic Stability
Def. An equilibrium point, xe, is asymptotically
stable if 1
. 1m II. el - t-> 00 II <1>(t,to' x(to), 0) - x 11 - 0
for any to and for all t > to'
If a trajectory reaches -xe,and no input is
ie(t) = (^0) for all t > to.
Find the equilibrium points for a pendulum with damping. (^) ... Set) + Set) + ksinS(t) = 0 Solution
Stability in the Sense of
Lyapunov
sense oJ Lyapunov (i.s.L.) iff for any E> 0 , ~ 8(E) 3
IIxO - xell < 8(E) ~ II (t;to' xO, 0) - xell < E
for any to and for all t > to.
Loosely speaking, if an initial state, xo, is near xe then the response to Xowill also stay near xe.
Lyapunov's 2ndMethod
The system i(t) = f(x(t)) is asymptotically stable if:3 V(x(t)) 3.
Note: V(x(t)) satisfies the definition of a positive definite function.
V(x (1)) satisfies the definition of a negative definite function.
If x(t) is 2 xl, explain asymptotic stability when
2 2 V(X (t» = Xl (t) + X2(t)
Explanation
Investigate the stability of the following
X2 (t) = -Xl (t) - ax2 (t) [X12 (t) + X22 (t) ]
Solution
Classify 2 2 a.) Xl +X2 + 1
b.) Xl +X

Lyapunov' s Equation
Let V(x(t)) = X(t)T Qx(t) where Q> 0, then,
V(x(t)) = d V(x(t)) - dt
