INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 3, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2014 ISSN 2277-8616 Construction Of Lyapunov Functions For Some Fourth Order Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations By Method Of Integration Orie Bassey O. Abstract: In giving adequate attention to some qualitative properties of solutions in ordinary differential equations, Lyapunov functions is quite indis- pensable. The process of tackling some problems in the application is the construction of appropriate Lyapunov functions for some nonlinear fourth order differential equation. Our focus is finding V(x), a quadratic form and positive definite also finding U(x) which is positive definite such that the derivative of V with respect to time would be equal to the negative value of U(x) In this work, we adopted the pre-multiplication of the given differential equation by x and thereafter we integrated with respect to t form t 0 to t T . We obtained a Lyapunov function candidate for a fourth order differential equa- tion or its scalar equation.
