Stability The tability of a ytem refer to it ability or tendency to eek a condition of tatic equilibrium after it ha been diturbed. If given a mall perturbation from the equilibrium, it i table if it return. Nonlinear ytem involve a very detailed and careful definition of tability: table in the mall, aymptotically table in the mall, table in the large. For linear ytem, the character of the natural motion doe not depend on their amplitude, o tability analyi i much impler for thee cae. Second order ytem, in particular, are fairly traightforward. The characteritic equation i tudied to undertand how the root vary with the ytem parameter. Dynamic Sytem and Control/Lab The Univerity of Texa at Autin

Stability Analyi For more complex ytem, it may not be eay to intuitively ae tability, and a mathematical approach i neceary. The tability of a linear cloed-loop ytem can alo be determined from the location of the cloed-loop pole in the plane The Routh tability criterion can help anwer quetion about abolute tability: i the ytem table or not. Other method, like root locu analyi, can tell you omething about relative tability; i.e., a more quantitative aement of the ytem tability baed on pole/zero location.
