3.4 Application of Lyapunov 2nd Method to theLTI SystemAs mentioned above. the Lyapunov stability theoremsprovidewhich are notonly the sufficient conditions,necessary, for the stability of the non-linear systems. Yet, for the LTI systems, the Lyapounov stability theoremscan be relaxed to the form which is sufficient and necessary

3.4 Application of Lyapunov 2nd Method to theLTI SystemTheorem 3.11 Consider the LTI homogeneous systemdescribed by X(t) = AX(t)with the initial condition X(O) = X。: The equilibrium pointX, = 0 is asymptotically stable i.s.L, iff for any symmetricpositive definite matrixQ , the following Lyapunovequation ATP+PA=-Qhas theuniquesymmetric positive definite solution matrix P

3.4 Application of Lyapunov 2nd Method to theLTI SystemProof.(l) Necessity(2)SufficiencyX =-XTOXBecause the matrix Q is any symmetric positive definite, soV(X) is negative definite for X+ 0 and V(0)= 0. So, the equilibrium point X,=O is asymptotically stablei.s.L and the quadratic form function V(X)= XTPX is aLyapunov function
