Abstract
We propose a constructive procedure to modify the total energy function of forced Hamiltonian systems with dissipation in order to generate Lyapunov functions for non-zero equilibria. A key step in the procedure, which is motivated from energy-balance considerations standard in network modeling of physical systems, is to embed the system into a larger Hamiltonian system for which a series of Casimir functions (i.e., first integrals) can be easily constructed. For linear systems the resulting Lyapunov function is the incremental energy, thus our derivations provide a physical explanation to it. An easily verifiable necessary and sufficient condition for the applicability of the technique in the general nonlinear case is given. Some examples that illustrate the method are given.Keywords
