Der Einfluß verschiedener Kräftearten auf die Stabilität linearer Systeme

Summary Several general theorems concerning the stability of dynamical systems have been published during the last decades. Starting with a classification of such systems an attempt is made to define the range of validity for these known theorems. Emphasis is laid upon the effect of different forces, as for example velocity-forces (gyroscopic as well as damping or exciting ones) and of positional forces (potential as well as circulatory nonconservative ones). The text of 20 theorems is given.
