N2 - This paper presents a proof that the use of polynomial Lyapunov functions is not conservative for studying exponential stability properties of nonlinear ordinary differential equations on bounded regions. The main result implies that if there exists an n-times continuously differentiable Lyapunov function which proves exponential decay on a bounded subset of R-n, then there exists a polynomial Lyapunov function which proves that same rate of decay on the same region. Our investigation is motivated by the use of semidefinite programming to construct polynomial Lyapunov functions for delayed and nonlinear systems of differential equations.
