Abstract

A construction of a globally asymptotically stable (GAS) time-invariant system which can be destabilized by an integrable perturbation was presented. Besides its intrinsic interest, this served to provide counterexamples to an open question regarding Lyapunov functions. The original system has convergent spiral trajectories and the coordinate change will be of the accordion type mentioned in the intuitive description.
