Linear StabilityConsider the general system of two first-order Ordinary Differential Equations
Let and denote Fixed Points with , so
Then expand about so
To first-order, this gives
 | (7) |
where the Matrix is called the Stability Matrix.
In general, given an -D Map , let be a Fixed Point, so that
 | (8) |
Expand about the fixed point,
so
 | (10) |
The map can be transformed into the principal axis frame by finding the Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues of the Matrix A
 | (11) |
so the Determinant
 | (12) |
The mapping is
 | (13) |
When iterated a large number of times,
 | (14) |
only if for , ..., but if any . Analysis of theEigenvalues (and Eigenvectors) of A therefore characterizes the typeof Fixed Point. The condition for stability is for , ..., .See also Fixed Point, Stability Matrix References
