Applications of direct Lyapunov method in Caputo non-integer order systems

Abstract

Paper presents certain properties of Lyapunov direct method for non-integer order systems. Mittag-Leffler stability is defined and its relationship with Lyapunov stability is investigated. General results for Lyapunov functions are presented and a new result allowing constructive stability analysis is proved. Results are illustrated with the examples of stability analysis for problem of cooling, chemical reaction evolution and parametric stability analysis.
