Abstract

Chetayev's instability theorem for conservative systems is generalized to the case of a non-isolated equilibrium position. On the assumption that the potential energy is not a minimum at the equilibrium position in question, consideration is given to the Lebesgue measure of invariant sets in the intersection of the domain in which the energy integral is negative and a small neighbourhood of the equilibrium position.
