Lyapunov Stability
Lyapunov Stability
A solution y*(t) of a system of differential equations is Lyapunov stable if, for any small distance (epsilon) from y*(t), we can find a small region around the initial condition of y*(t) where any solution starting within that region will remain within a distance (epsilon) of y*(t) for all future times. It means that small changes in the initial conditions don't lead to drastically different long-term behavior.
Asymptotic Stability
Asymptotic Stability
A solution y*(t) of a system of differential equations is asymptotically stable if it is Lyapunov stable and, for any small region around the initial condition of y*(t), any solution starting within that region will converge to y*(t) as time goes to infinity.
What is a solution to a differential equation?
What is a solution to a differential equation?
A function y*(t) is a solution to a differential equation if it makes the equation true when plugged in. For example, if y(t) = e^t is plugged into the equation y' = y, the equation becomes e^t = e^t which is true, so y(t) = e^t is a solution.

Study Notes
Stability of Solutions of ODEs
-
The study of stability examines how changes in initial conditions or parameters affect dynamical system solutions (e.g., coefficients in front of derivatives). The main goal is to establish criteria ensuring solution changes are minimal with minor changes to initial conditions or parameters.
-
Lyapunov Stability: A solution y*(t) is Lyapunov stable (or simply stable) if, for any ε > 0, there exists a δ > 0 such that if another initial condition y(0) is within δ of y*(0), then the solution y(t) corresponding to y(0) remains within ε of y*(t) for all t > 0. This means the solution stays close to the initial solution.
-
Asymptotic Stability: A solution y*(t) is asymptotically stable if it is Lyapunov stable, and for any initial condition y(0) sufficiently close to y*(0), the solution y(t) approaches y*(t) as t tends to infinity.
-
Stability of the zero solution is often examined. Changing variables (z(t) = y(t)-y*(t) in the system equation) transforms the problem to analyzing the stability of the zero solution (z(t)=0).
-
Stability Criteria for Linear Systems: For systems of two first-order linear ODEs with constant coefficients, stability depends on the eigenvalues of the matrix A in the system. If the real parts of eigenvalues are all negative, the zero solution is asymptotically stable; if they are all zero, it is stable; and if any are positive, it is unstable.
-
Lyapunov Function Method: Instead of directly analyzing the system, a function V(y) is sought, satisfying certain conditions (V(0) = 0, V(y) > 0 for y ≠ 0, and ∂V/∂t ≤ 0). If such a Lyapunov function exists, the equilibrium point is stable (or asymptotically stable if ∂V/∂t < 0).
