Abstract
The problem considered is that of inferring asymptotic stability by examining higher order derivatives of a Liapunov function when examination of only the first derivative does not permit such an inference. It is shown that a seemingly plausible approach using only
and
is vacuous. It is also shown that it is possible to infer asymptotic stability by examining
and
, and perhaps
