Stability criterion

The stability criterion generally refers to a set of conditions or rules that determine whether a system, process, or model will maintain its state of equilibrium or converge towards equilibrium over time in various fields such as engineering, mathematics, and control theory. Here are a few contexts where stability criteria are important: 1. **Control Theory**: In control systems, the stability criterion typically assesses whether a system will respond to disturbances or changes in input without diverging or behaving unpredictably.
