Stability is guaranteed by synthesizing a Lyapunov quadratic function for the system, and by imposing that the terminal state lies within a level set of the function. Procedures to maximize the volume of such an ellipsoidal set are provided, and interiorpoint methods to solve on-line optimization are considered.
