Abstract

A common process in ODE theory is to linearize an ODE system about an equilibrium point to determine the local stability properties of its orbits. Less common are results that quantify the domain of stability in the original system. We study a class of ODE systems where the domain of nonlinear stability is significantly small given the parameters of the problem. The aim of this paper is to attempt to quantify this region of stability.
