Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stability of Dissipative Systems
P and K_: O. The operator K represents the dissipative forces, H the conservative forces. The linear stability of such equilibria is determined by the boundedness of the solutions of Eq. (1) for arbitrary allowed initial condi tions; the equilibrium is said to be stable if all the solutions of Eq. (1) are bounded independently of t, and unstable otherwise.
