Lyapunov–Malkin theorem
Encyclopedia
The Lyapunov–Malkin theorem (named for Aleksandr Lyapunov and Ioel Gilevich Malkin) is a mathematical theorem detailing nonlinear stability of systems.

In the system of differential equation
Differential equation
A differential equation is a mathematical equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the function itself and its derivatives of various orders...

In mathematics, a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions. The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries. An example of a matrix with six elements isMatrices of the same size can be added or subtracted element by element...

, and X(xy), Y(xy) represent higher order nonlinear terms. If all eigenvalues of the matrix have negative real parts, and X(xy), Y(xy) vanish when x = 0, then the solution x = 0, y = 0 of this system is stabile with respect to (xy) and asymptotically stable in respect to x. If a solution (x(t), y(t)) is close enough to the solution x = 0, y = 0, then
