THEME A dissipative system absorbs ‘supply’ (e.g., energy). How do we formalize this? Involves the storage function. How is it constructed? Is it unique? KYP, LMI’s, ARE’s. Where is this notion applied in systems and control?

A linear system is (asymptotically) stable iff it has a quadratic positive definite Lyapunov function sol’n . Basis for most stability results in control, physics, adaptation, even numerical analysis, system identification.
Lyapunov functions play a remarkably central role in the field.
Aleksandr Mikhailovich Lyapunov (1857-1918) Studied mechanics, differential equations. Introduced Lyapunov’s ‘second method’ in his Ph.D. thesis (1899).
