We're talking all about stability

We talk about stability usually meaning that things settle to an equilibrium point. But this isn't the only way to look at things...

# Poincare Stability (Path Stability)
|
|
For autonomous systems. Basically, adhere to a path for distrubances.
|
|
## Types of Paths
|
|
### Standard Path
|
|
$x^*$ is a phase path or equilibrium point whose stability is in question.
|
|
This is a solution of $\dot x = X$
|
|
### 'Half-path' or 'Half-orbit' or 'Semi-orbit'
