Construction of Global Lyapunov Functions Using Radial Basis Functions
The basin of attraction of an equilibrium of an ordinary differential equation can be determined using a Lyapunov function. A new method to construct such a Lyapunov function using radial basis functions is presented in this volume intended for resea

Preface
This book combines two mathematical branches: dynamical systems and radial basis functions. It is mainly written for mathematicians with experience in at least one of these two areas. For dynamical systems we provide a method to construct a Lyapunov function and to determine the basin of attraction of an equilibrium. For radial basis functions we give an important application for the approximation of solutions of linear partial differential equations. The book includes a summary of the basic facts of dynamical systems and radial basis functions which are needed in this book. It is, however, no introduction textbook of either area; the reader is encouraged to follow the references for a deeper study of the area. The study of differential equations is motivated from numerous applications in physics, chemistry, economics, biology, etc. We focus on autonomous differential equations x˙ = f (x), x ∈ Rn which define a dynamical system. The simplest solutions x(t) of such an equation are equilibria, i.e. solutions x(t) = x0 which remain constant. An important and non-trivial task is the determination of their basin of attraction.
