A Formal Proof in Cop of LaSalle's Invariance Principle

摘要

Stability analysis of dynamical systems plays an important role in the study of control techniques. LaSalle's invariance principle is a result about the asymptotic stability of the solutions to a nonlinear system of differential equations and several extensions of this principle have been designed to fit different particular kinds of system. In this paper we present a formalization, in the Coq proof assistant, of a slightly improved version of the original principle. This is a step towards a formal verification of dynamical systems.
