- I have a set of autonomous (no explicit time dependence), first-order
- non-linear diffEQ. Does anyone know of a better (i.e easier to do in
- practice) way of determining the stability of the solution than the
- methods of Liapunov. I can easily solve these numerically on a computer
- and all initial conditions seem to lead to a steady-state but I would
- like to prove this analytically and I am having a hard time constructing
- the required Liapunov function. Any help would be appreciated.
