A generalization of Zubov's method to perturbed systems

We present a generalization of Zubov's method to perturbed differential equations. The goal is to characterize the domain of attraction of a set which is uniformly locally asymptotically stable under all admissible time varying perturbations. We show that in this general setting the straightforward generalization of the classical Zubov's equations has a unique viscosity solution which characterizes the robust domain of attraction as a suitable sublevel set.
