SUMMARY:Differential Geometry Working Seminar
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:AMANDA PETCU\, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO\n\n_Stability and Lyapuno
 v Functions_\n\nWhen working with a nonlinear system of differential equat
 ions\,\nfinding explicit\, closed-form solutions can be difficult. A tool 
 in\nsuch situations is to determine the stability of the equilibrium\npoin
 ts of the system. This analysis allows us to predict the long-term\nbehavi
 or of the system by examining its trajectories and how they\nbehave near a
 n equilibrium point: specifically\, do they remain bounded\nin some compac
 t set\, converge to the point\, or escape to infinity? In\nthis talk\, we 
 will discuss Lyapunov's Direct Method\, a technique that\nallows us to det
 ermine the stability of an equilibrium point without\nexplicitly solving t
 he differential equations. \n\nMC 5403
