A reset mechanism in controller can affect the stability property of a closed loop control system. In a simple word, there are stable reset control systems with unstable base-systems and also unstable reset systems with stable base-systems. The Lyapunov stability theory is a strong tool to investigate the stability of a nonlinear system. In this paper, based on the well-known Lyapunov stability concept, some stability conditions for nonlinear reset control systems are addressed. These conditions are dependent on the reset-times and hence the reset-time intervals are explicitly emerged in the stability conditions. Some applications of these results are used in numerical examples to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
