Stability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stability can refer to:

• Aircraft flight Stability (aircraft)
• Atmospheric stability, a measure of the turbulence in the ambient atmosphere
• BIBO stability (Bounded Input, Bounded Output stability), in signal processing and control theory, part of electrical engineering
• Directional stability, and the tendency for a body moving with respect to a medium to point in the direction of motion. In the context of arrows, darts, rockets and missiles this is also known as 'weathercock stability'.
• Chemical stability, occurring when a substance is in a dynamic chemical equilibrium with its environment
• Ecological stability, measure of the probability of a population returning quickly to a previous state, or not going extinct
• Economic stability
• Numerical stability, a property of numerical algorithms which describes how errors in the input data propagate through the algorithm
• Plasma stability, a measure of how likely a perturbation in a plasma is to be damped out
• Relaxed stability, the property of inherently unstable aircraft
• Stability conditions of waterborne vessels.
• Stability (probability), a property of probability distributions
• Stability radius, a property of continuous polynomial functions
• Stability theory, the study of the stability of solutions to differential equations and dynamical systems
  • Lyapunov stability
  • Structural stability
• Stability (computer software), the degree to which software can be run over periods of time without crashing or otherwise malfunctioning.
• The Stability E.P., a 2002 three song EP by Death Cab for Cutie
• Network stability, the tendency of maximum delay and backlog in a network to grow indefinitely over time or to stay bounded
