            Abstract : 
We present a version of Lyapunov theory for stochastically generated time scales. In the case of quadratic Lyapunov functions for the LTI case, our results improve the requirement that spec(A) ⊂ Hmin. Our approach also allows us to consider a special class of LTV problems where the dependence on time is only through the graininess.
