Abstract

Recent employments of SMT solvers within the Lyapunov function synthesis provided effective tools for automated construction of Lyapunov functions alongside with sound computer-assisted certificates. The main benefit of the suggested approach is the formal correctness and elimination of the numerical uncertainty. In the present work, we extend the SMT-based synthesis approach for wider classes of continuous and discrete-time systems. Additionally, we address constructions of Lyapunov functions for state-dependent switching systems. We illustrate our approach by means of various examples from the control systems literature.
