In the given example, in the development of the expression for <math>\dot V(x)</math>, shouldnwouldn't thereit be abetter to replace the <math>\dot f(x)</math> instead ofby a <math>f(\dot x)</math> (according to the [[chain rule]])?

The complete equation would be: <math>\dot V(x) = V'(x) \dot x = \mathrm{sign}(x)\cdot (-x) = -|x|<0.</math>
