Lyapunov stability of 4x4 matrix.












0














Consider the following continuous-time state space representation of the form:



$frac{d}{dx}x(t) = Ax(t)+Bu(t), quad y(t)=Cx(t), quad tin mathbb{R}^{+}$



$A=begin{bmatrix}-1&3&0&0\-3&-1&0&0\0&0&0&3\0&0&-3&0 end{bmatrix} quad B = begin{bmatrix}0\1\0\0 end{bmatrix} quad C=begin{bmatrix}1&0&0&1 end{bmatrix}$



The corresponding eigenvalues are: $-1+3i, -1-3i, 0+3i text{and} 0-3i$.



The answer states that this system is Lyaponov stable.
But I'm wondering why.



Is it because the Jordan blocks of the eigenvalues with zero real-part are $1$x$1$. Because this matrix is in Jordan Form?

    Your $A$ matrix in not in Jordan form, but in its real Jordan form, so you have to look at the size of each full real Jordan block.

    Yes, only your example is not a real Jordan block, because then both 2x2 matrices on the diagonal need to be the same.

Write $I_n$ for a $n times n$ identity matrix.



Take $P = (1/2)I_4$ and $V(x) = x^T P x$, which is clearly positive definite. Now calculate the directional derivative:



$$
begin{align}
dot{V}(x) &= dot{x}^T P x + x^T P dot{x} \
&= x^T A^T P x + x^T P A x \
&= x^T(A^T P + P A) x \
&= x^T Q x,
end{align}
$$



insert $A$ and $P$ and derive $Q$:



$$
begin{align}
Q = A^T P + P A &=
begin{bmatrix}
-1 & -3 & 0 & 0 \
3 & -1 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & -3 \
0 & 0 & 3 & 0
end{bmatrix} frac{1}{2} I_4 + frac{1}{2} I_4
begin{bmatrix}
-1 & 3 & 0 & 0 \
-3 & -1 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 3 \
0 & 0 & -3 & 0
end{bmatrix} \ &=
begin{bmatrix}
-1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & -1 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 end{bmatrix} .
end{align}
$$



So your directional derivative is $dot{V}(x) = -x_1^2 - x_2^2$, which is negative semi-definite. Therefore, the system is Lyapunov stable (but not asymptotically Lyapunov stable).

    In this case it might be even easier to just look at the eigenvalues, because they all have an algebraic multiplicity of one. Only if the algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue with zero real part is higher than one, you also need to check its geometric multiplicity.
