STABILITY OF GENERALIZED EQUILIBRIA IN CONSTRAINED PSEUDODISSIPATIVE SYSTEMS

摘要

We present improved stability criteria for the generalized equilibria of pseudodissipative systems. Compared to earlier results (Walker, 1988), the new criteria apply to many more kinematically constrained systems. We also obtain particularly simple stability criteria for holonomically constrained systems. Minimality is not assumed and linearization is not employed. [References: 8]
