Method of semidefinite Lyapunov functions for systems of nonautonomous differential equations (Q1759276)

The authors extend the method of semidefinite Lyapunov functions to investigate stability properties of solutions to nonautonomous ordinary differential equations and related it to stability properties of positively invariant sets. Under appropriate assumptions criteria for uniform, uniform asymptotic and global uniform asymptotic stability are given. Applications include a Liénard-type equation, a stabilization problem and an automatic regulation problem.
