MU Xiao-wu ( ), CHENG Gui-fang ( ), DING Zhi-shuai ( ) AbstractThis paper deals with the stability of systems with discontinuous righthand side (with solutions in Filippov's sense) via locally Lipschitz continuous and regular vector Lyapunov functions. A new type of "set-valued derivative" of vector Lyapunov functions is introduced, some generalized comparison principles on discontinuous systems are shown. Furthermore, Lyapunov stability theory is developed for a class of discontinuous systems based on locally Lipschitz continuous and regular vector Lyapunov functions.
