The Lyapunov exponent is used to characterize the stability of the dynamic response of the system, and it is often employed to verify if a system is chaotic. Since its discovery in the nineteenth century, various methods have been proposed…

We consider the problem of constructing Lyapunov functions for linear differential equations with delays. For such systems it is known that exponential stability implies the existence of a positive Lyapunov function which is quadratic on…

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.…
