The concept of vector Lyapunov functions (VLF) was coincidentally introduced by R. Bellman [13] in the linear systems setting and by V. M. Matrosov [236] in the general nonlinear systems framework. Matrosov continued to develop the VLF concept to large-scale nonlinear systems [237], [238]. It became the basic mathematical tool for studying stability properties of complex (interconnected and large-scale) dynamic systems [131], [237], [243], [298]. The VLF was the mathematical mean to effectively construct a scalar Lyapunov function for the complex dynamic systems and to reduce their stability test to simple algebraic conditions ...
