scientific article; zbMATH DE number 14452

The author describes a method of construction of vector Lyapunov functions for investigating the stability of complex systems of the type \[ \dot x_i = f_i(x_i,t) + D_iu_i, \quad y_i = H_ix_i,\quad u_i=\sum^k_{j=1} B_{ij}y_j+G_iu\quad (i=1,\ldots,k), \] where \(x_i\) has dimension \(n_i\), \(\sum^k_{i=1} n_i=n\). The method essentially goes back to \textit{F. N. Bailey} [J. Soc. Ind. Appl. Math., Ser. A, Control 3, 443--462 (1965; Zbl 0139.04602)], its idea is to find a Hurwitz matrix \(A\) such that \(\dot v\leq Av\), where \(v=(v_1,\ldots,v_k)\), and \(v_i\) is a Lyapunov function for the \(i\)-th subsystem. As an example of application, the author gives a detailed investigation of a system with \(n=9\) and \(k=4\).
