Proof of Lyapunov Stability for Constant Matrix System

196 Views Asked by At

I am trying to find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the point of equilibrium x=0 of $x'=Ax$ to be Lyapunov stable, where A is constant matrix. The book I'm using briefly touches on this, but omits the proof, and I was wondering if anyone could show or point me to a proof that goes though this. I know that the eigenvalues of A have to have negative real parts, and that the proof could be done with Jordan Blocks, but I am not really any good at working with those. Thanks

See the statement and proof in Theorem 14.1 of this lecture note The note also describes in quite detail the Lyapunov stability theory for linear time-invariant system.
