Relaxations of Conditions of Lyapunov Functions

In this study, stability conditions are given for nonlinear time varying systems using the classical Lyapunov 2nd Method and its arguments. A novel approach is utilized and so that uniform stability can also be proved by using an unclassical Lyapunov Function. In contrast with the studies in the literature, Lyapunov Function is allowed to be negative definite and increasing through the system. To construct a classical Lyapunov Function, we use a reverse time approach methodology for the intervals where the unclassical one is increasing. So we prove the stability using a new Lyapunov Function construction methodology. The main result shows that the existence of such a function guarantees the stability of the origin. Some numerical examples are also given to demonstrate the efficiency of the method we use.
