Abstract: Self-Stabilizing distributed algorithms exhibit interesting analogies with stabilizing feedback systems used in various engineering domains. In this paper we show by Dijkstra's famous token ring algorithm for mutual exclusion serving as an example that methodologies from control theory, namely Ljapunov's "Second Method," can be used to more easily and systematically prove the self-stabilization property of distributed algorithms.
