LIAPUNOV FUNCTION

Stability of large-scale systems with stable and unstable subsystems.

The purpose of this paper is to develop new methods for constructing vector Liapunov functions and broaden the application of Liapunov's theory to stability analysis of large-scale dynamic systems. The application, so far limited by the assumption that the large-scale systems are composed of exponentially stable subsystems, is extended via the general concept of comparison functions to systems which can be decomposed into asymptotically stable subsystems. Asymptotic stability of the composite system is tested by a simple algebraic criterion. With minor technical adjustments, the same criterion can be used to determine connective asymptotic stability of large-scale systems subject to structural perturbations. By redefining the constraints imposed on the interconnections among the subsystems, the considered class of systems is broadened in an essential way to include composite systems with unstable subsystems. In this way, the theory is brought substantially closer to reality since stability of all subsystems is no longer a necessary assumption in establishing stability of the overall composite system.
