In this note, we propose coordinate-invariant notions of incremental Lyapunov function and provide characterizations of incremental stability in terms of existence of the proposed Lyapunov functions.
Three similar convergence notions are considered. Two of them are the long established notions of convergent dynamics and incremental stability. The other is the more recent notion of contraction analysis. All three convergence notions…

Nonlinear networks are often multistable, exhibiting coexisting stable states with competing regions of attraction (ROAs). As a result, ROAs can have complex "tentacle-like" morphologies that are challenging to characterize analytically or…
