The Lyapunov equation, named after the Russian mathematician Aleksandr Lyapunov, is a matrix equation used in the stability analysis of linear dynamical systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In particular, the discrete-time Lyapunov equation (also known as Stein equation ) for X {\displaystyle X} is
Lyapunov functions are used extensively in control theory to ensure different forms of system stability. The state of a system at a particular time is often described by a multi-dimensional vector. A Lyapunov function is a nonnegative scalar measure of this multi-dimensional state.
A Lyapunov function for an autonomous dynamical system {: ˙ = ()with an equilibrium point at = is a scalar function: that is continuous, has continuous first derivatives, is strictly positive for , and for which the time derivative ˙ = is non positive (these conditions are required on some region containing the origin).
The ordinary Lyapunov function is used to test whether a dynamical system is (Lyapunov) stable or (more restrictively) asymptotically stable. Lyapunov stability means that if the system starts in a state x ≠ 0 {\displaystyle x\neq 0} in some domain D , then the state will remain in D for all time.
Lyapunov proved that if the system of the first approximation is regular (e.g., all systems with constant and periodic coefficients are regular) and its largest Lyapunov exponent is negative, then the solution of the original system is asymptotically Lyapunov stable. Later, it was stated by O. Perron that the requirement of regularity of the ...
Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction has been used in economics, natural sciences, and engineering [1] often in combination with bifurcation theory, perturbation theory, and regularization. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] LS reduction is often used to rigorously regularize partial differential equation models in chemical engineering resulting in models that are ...
In the mathematics of dynamical systems, the concept of Lyapunov dimension was suggested by Kaplan and Yorke [1] for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of attractors.Further the concept has been developed and rigorously justified in a number of papers, and nowadays various different approaches to the definition of Lyapunov dimension are used.
A Lyapunov fractal is constructed by mapping the regions of stability and chaotic behaviour (measured using the Lyapunov exponent) in the a−b plane for given periodic sequences of a and b. In the images, yellow corresponds to λ < 0 {\displaystyle \lambda <0} (stability), and blue corresponds to λ > 0 {\displaystyle \lambda >0} (chaos).
