Region of Attraction
– p. 1/1
Exponential Stability:
The origin of ẋ = f (x) is exponentially stable if and only if
the linearization of f (x) at the origin is Hurwitz
{k1 kxka ≤ c} ⊂ D
V (x) ≤ c ⇒ k1 kxka ≤ c
Ωc = {V (x) ≤ c} ⊂ { k1 kxka ≤ c} ⊂ D
Ωc is compact and positively invariant; ∀ x(0) ∈ Ωc

The simplest estimate is the bounded component of
{V (x) < c}, where c = minx∈∂D V (x)

If D is a domain where V (x) is positive definite and V̇ (x)
is negative definite (or V̇ (x) is negative semidefinite and no
solution can stay identically in the set V̇ (x) = 0 other than
x = 0), then according to LaSalle’s theorem any compact
positively invariant subset of D is a subset of the region of
attraction
