Lyapunov transformation
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A non-degenerate linear transformation L ( t) : \mathbf R ^ {n} \rightarrow \mathbf R ^ {n} (
or L ( t) : \mathbf C ^ {n} \rightarrow \mathbf C ^ {n} ),
smoothly depending on a parameter t \in \mathbf R ,
that satisfies the condition
\sup _ {t \in \mathbf R } [ \| L ( t) \| + \| L ^ {-1} ( t) \| + \| \dot{L} ( t) \| ] < + \infty .
It was introduced by A.M. Lyapunov in 1892 (see [1]). The Lyapunov transformation is widely used in the theory of linear systems of ordinary differential equations. In many cases the requirement
\sup _ {t \in \mathbf R } \| \dot{L} ( t) \| < + \infty
can be discarded.
