Abstract
Time-invariant nonlinear systems with differentiable motions are considered. The algorithmic necessary and sufficient conditions are established in various forms for one-shot construction of a Lyapunov function, for asymptotic stability of a compact invariant set and for the exact determination of the asymptotic stability domain of the invariant set.
The classical conditions are expressed in terms of existence of a system Lyapunov functions. The conditions of theorems presented herein are expressed via properties of the solution
