Stability of Motion

Mathematics in Science and Engineering, Volume 30: Stability of Motion deals with the problem of stability of motion. This volume investigates the problem of stability of the unperturbed motion in cases such as the system of differential equations for the perturbed motion is autonomie and the characteristic equation of the linear system that gives the first approximation has a double zero root. When the order of the system is larger than two (n > 2), all the remaining roots have negative real parts. The double root corresponds to a multiple elementary divisor of the characteristic matrix. This book is a good reference for mathematicians, students, and specialists conducting work on the stability of motion.
