Abstract

A number of well-known theorems on asymptotic stability and instability in the presence of one Liapunov function with a sign-constant derivative are generalized to nonautonomous systems. Asymptotic stability and instability conditions are found for the equilibrium position of a holonomic mechanical system with variable masses under the action of potential, gyroscopic, and dissipattve forces depending on time.
