Vv. Rumyantsev et Sp. Sosnitskii, THE STABILITY OF THE EQUILIBRIUM OF HOLONOMIC CONSERVATIVE-SYSTEMS, Journal of applied mathematics and mechanics, 57(6), 1993, pp. 1101-1122
The problem of the stability of the equilibrium positions and steady m
otions of holonomic conservative systems has been fairly completely tr
eated in a number of reviews [44, 58, 9]. However, investigations are
continuing in this field and a number of new important results have re
cently been obtained (in 1982-1992). This review analyses these result
s and compares them with previous ones.
