  • Abstract
    The Lyapunov function V and its time derivative \\dot{V} are expressed in matrix form by x\´Sx and x\´Tx , respectively, where S and T contain elements which involve the state variables, and x\´ is the transpose of x . A given fourth-order nonlinear system is characterized by \\dot{x}=A(x)x , where A(x) contains nonlinear elements. Simanov\´s problem is extended to a fourth-order system whose nonlinearity is a constrained function of two state variables.
