Vector lyapunov functions

EXPONENTIAL STABILITY OF DYNAMIC EQUATIONS ON TIME SCALES ALLAN C. PETERSON AND YOUSSEF N. RAFFOUL Received 6 July 2004 and in revised form 16 December 2004 We investigate the exponential stability of the zero solution to a system of dynamic equations on time scales. We do this by defining appropriate Lyapunov-type functions and then formulate certain inequalities on these functions. Several examples are given. 1. Introduction This paper considers the exponential stability of the zero solution of the first-order vector dynamic equation x∆ = f (t,x), t ≥ 0. (1.
