Abstract:We propose a solution of the problem inverse to the well-known problem of constructing Lyapunov functions for linear systems with constant coe~icients, making it possible to obtain new conditions for positive-and negative-definiteness of forms of degrees two and three in an arbitrary octant of the space R n.Consider a linear system of differential equationswhere x E R '~ and A is an upper triangular n x n matrix with letter entries. Let V(x) = (x, Bx) be a quadratic form to be investigated for positive-or nega… Show more
