Doi:10.24425/1234562' though ... According to a lot of applied mathematicians, for a dissipative gyroscopic system a
Lyapunov function could not be constructed. However, using the method expressed in the publication above, even for such a system a Lyapunov function could be constructed as given in 'Civelek, C.; Cihanbegendi, Ö. (2020).

of the audience capable of understanding and appreciating it - and furthermore the size of the audience it would actually benefit - is almost negligible. What then, is the point of having an article which benefits only a miserable fraction of the entire population, and an even more insignificant portion of the mathematical community?

Definitions such as these may be appropriate for

I agree the definition in this article is pretty abysmal - as are most mathematical definitions on

CORRECTION: Depending on formulation type, a systematic method to construct
Lyapunov functions for ordinary differential equations using their most general form in autonomous cases was given in 'Civelek, C. (2018). Archives of Control Sciences, volume 28 (LXIV), No. 2, pages 201–222

The bad thing about this page is that it doesn't really say. It gives a very precise definition of a "Lyapunov candidate function" and says a lot about
Lyapunov candidate functions, but it doesn't bother to define a Lyapunov function, except in a sketchy way near the start.
332:
Further on, I introduced a definition of the
Lyapunov-candidate-function and a (as i hope) clear version of the "Basic Lyapunov theorems for autonomous systems", which can be used to prove stability of an equilibrium point of such a system.

439:. In this respect Scholarpedia cites partially some unreferenced textbook. Wolfram do not provide definition similarly to this article. There are various definitions for this functions in the Internet. For example,

This is wrong, a
Lyapunov function by definition proves the stability of a certain equilibrium. Otherwise it is a Lyapunov candidate funciton. And there is no way to prove instability with a Lyapunov function.
