7 Properties and behaviors of ordinary differential equations

Studies of the solutions of differential equations were fully discussed in earlier chapters. Sometimes, the analysis of the properties and behaviors of differential equations is also needed. For instance, from a practical viewpoint, if a continuous model is described by differential equations, the stability of the model is a very important property. If a system is unstable, it should not be running alone. Some precautions are needed, such that a stable system can be created.

Section 7.1 in this chapter studies the stability issues of differential equations. The definition of stability is presented first, then the direct and indirect methods for assessing stability of linear differential ...
