First Approximation Study of Lyapunov, Perron and Upper-Limit Stability or Instability

abstract:
The natural concepts of Lyapunov, Perron and upper-limit stability of the zero solution of a differential system are defined, as well as their numerous varieties: from global to particular stability or, respectively, instability. A complete coincidence of possibilities of research on the first approximation of stability and asymptotic stability of all three types is found. A similar coincidence was established for partial and particular stability. The complete coincidence of the same possibilities in the case of one-dimensional systems is proved.
