Abstract

This paper focuses on the problem of stability analysis for Riemann-Liouville nabla fractional order systems. On one hand, a useful comparison principle is built and then a rigorous proof is constructed for the well-known Lyapunov stability criterion in terms of class K functions. On the other hand, the constraint of the Lyapunov function is refined using a positive constant γ or a sequence h(k), resulting two practical theorems. Finally, three illustrative examples are given to show the applicability of the proposed method.
