Stability Theory of Dynamical Systems

From the reviews: "This is an introductory book intended for beginning graduate students or, perhaps advanced undergraduates. ... The book has many good points: clear organization, historical notes and references at the end of every chapter, and an excellent bibliography. The text is well written, at a level appropriate for the intended audience, and it represents a very good introduction to the basic theory of dynamical systems." Mathematical Reviews, 1972 "The exposition is remarkably clear, definitions are separated explicitly, theorems are often provided together with the motivation for changing one or other hypothesis, as well as the relevance of certain generalisations... This study is an excellent review of the current situation for problems of stability of the solution of differential equations. It is addressed to all interested in non-linear differential problems, as much from the theoretical as from the applications angle." Bulletin de la Socit Mathmatique de Belgique, 1975
