An Algorithm for Constructing Lyapunov Functions
by Sigurdur Freyr Hafstein
2007
Number of pages: 100
Description:
In this monograph we develop an algorithm for constructing Lyapunov functions for arbitrary switched dynamical systems, possessing a uniformly asymptotically stable equilibrium. We give numerous examples of Lyapunov functions constructed by our method at the end of the monograph.

In these notes, we describe the design of a small C++ program which solves numerically the sine-Gordon equation. The program is build progressively to make it multipurpose and easy to modify to solve any system of partial differential equations.
