Lyapunov Stability for a Nonlinear, Time-varying system












3












$begingroup$


I am currently trying to learn how to determine the stability of a solution using Lyapunov's Method for non-autonomous systems.



Say we are given a nonlinear system:
$$dot{x_1}(t)=-x_1(t) + x_2(t)[x_1(t)+g(t)]$$
$$dot{x_2}(t)= x_1(t)[x_1(t)+g(t)]$$
And we want to investigate the stability of the solution $x(t)=0$.



If we use a simple Lyapunov function
$$V(x) = 0.5x_{1}^{2} + 0.5x_{2}^{2}$$



I can find $dot{V}(x,t)$, but I am unsure of where to go from here. How do I prove some kind of stability/instability. Do I need Barbalat's Lemma?

    You could look at the case when $g(t)=0$ and if that is stable use vanishing perturbation.

    I think you might have mistaken a $-$ sign with $+$
