The basis for the method is Lyapunov’s second method, also known as Lyapunov’s direct method, to determine stability of systems governed by differential equations. The fundamental work of A.M. Lyapunov (1857–1918) on stability of motion was published in Russian in 1893, and was translated into French in 1907 (Lyapunov, 1907). This work received little attention and for a long time was forgotten. In the 1930s, Soviet mathematicians revived these investigations and showed that Lyapunov’s method was applicable to several problems in physics and engineering. This revival of the subje
