Alexey Lyapunov (often spelled Lyapunov) was a prominent Russian mathematician and engineer known for his significant contributions to several areas of mathematics, including stability theory, probability theory, and differential equations. He is most widely recognized for the Lyapunov stability theorem, which provides criteria for determining the stability of equilibrium points in dynamical systems. His work laid the foundation for various fields, such as control theory and systems engineering.
