We propose the notion of nondecreasing Lyapunov functions which can be used to prove stability or other properties of the system in question. This notion is in particular useful in studying switched or hybrid systems. We illustrate the concept by a general construction of such a nondecreasing Lyapunov function for a class of planar hybrid systems. It is noted that this class encompasses switche...

In this article, we verify existence and uniqueness of positive and nondecreasing solution for nonlinear boundary value problem of fractional differential equation in the form $D_{0^{+}}^{alpha}x(t)+f(t,x(t))=0, 0
