New method predicts stability of systems, revolutionizing disease control strategies.
The article discusses how to determine the stability of solutions to differential equations using the Lyapunov second method. The key is to construct a Lyapunov Function, also known as a V Function. By applying this method to models like Lotka-Voltera and epidemiological models, researchers can directly determine the stability of equilibrium states. This is done by constructing a specific type of function and analyzing its derivative.
