 Lyapunov stability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lyapunov stability is applicable to only unforced (no control input) dynamical systems.
Then V(x) is called a Lyapunov function candidate and the system is asymptotically stable in the sense of Lyapunov.
Lyapunov's realisation was that stability can be proven without requiring knowledge of the true physical energy, providing a Lyapunov function can be found to satisfy the above constraints.

Aleksandr Mikhailovich Lyapunov (Александр Михайлович Ляпунов) (June_6 1857 – November_3 1918, all new_style) was a Russian mathematician, mechanician and physicist.
As was said by Vladimir_Andreevich_Steklov, "Chebyshev saw in the young man such an immense research power, that he had dared to lay on him such a toilsome task".
In 1885 he became private reader of the University at Kharkov in the chair of mechanics, where he replaced V. Imshenecky, who had been chosen as a member of the Russian_Academy_of_Sciences.

To make 1894 even more doubtful: It would mean that Aleksandr's father would have devoted himself to his son's education at a time when the latter already had his PhD.
So I do believe it was a mistake in an x-reference and I suspect it was really a year 1864, when Aleksandr was 7 years old.
Lyapunov had also begun to study this stability in his previous two-years attempts at solving the task.

 Lyapunov Page
When the Lyapunov formula is applied to Markus' model, it produces an exponent for each pair of parameters.
Readers who demand precision can more accurately estimate the lyapunov exponent by increasing the number of iterations and at the end of the procedure, by dividing the sum logarithms by the number of iterations.
If the Lyapunov exponent is plotted for a succession of initial x values, it may take on a specific value, say 0.015 for a number of these initial values.

Several generalizations for finite variance exist which do not require identical distribution but incorporate some condition which guarantees that none of the variables exert a much larger influence than the others.
Two such conditions are the Lindeberg condition and the Lyapunov condition.
In the same setting and with the same notation as above, we can replace the Lyapunov condition with the following weaker one (from Lindeberg in 1920).
