Abstract

The stability of equilibria in dynamical systems can be characterized by the existence of Lyapunov functions, which are real-valued functions from the state-space that are decreasing along trajectories. Lyapunov functions can be constructed using linear programming or semidefinite optimization for various kinds of dynamical systems, including systems defined by ODEs. We will discuss a method using linear programming and how it can be extended for differential inclusions and systems with control, with leads to MIP problems.
