We study convergence of nonlinear systems in the presence of an `almost Lyapunov' function which, unlike the classical Lyapunov function, is allowed to be nondecreasing---and even increasing---on a nontrivial subset of the phase space.…

Boltzmann defined the entropy of a macroscopic system in a macrostate $M$ as the $\log$ of the volume of phase space (number of microstates) corresponding to $M$. This agrees with the thermodynamic entropy of Clausius when $M$ specifies the…
