Converse theorem for practical stability of nonlinear impulsive systems and applications
The Lyapunov's second method is one of the most famous techniques for studying the stability properties of dynamic systems. This technique uses an auxiliary function, called Lyapunov function, which checks the stability properties of a specific system without the need to generate system solutions. An important question is about the reversibility or converse of Lyapunov's second method; i. e., given a specific stability property does there exist an appropriate Lyapunov function? The main result of...
