Abstract

For a class of monotone nonlinear systems, it is shown that a continuously differentiable Lyapunov function can be constructed implicitly from a left eigenvector of vector fields. The left eigenvector which is a continuous function of state variables is deduced from a right eigenvector which represents a small gain condition. It is demonstrated that rounding off the edges of n-orthotopes, which is the maximization of state variables, yields level sets of the Lyapunov function. Applying the development to comparison systems gives continuously differentiable input-to-state Lyapunov functions of networks consisting of input-to-state systems which are not necessarily monotone.
