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'. The term 'stability' applied to aircraft generally refers to this type of stability.
• Ecological stability, measure of the probability of a population returning quickly to a previous state, or not going extinct
• Instantaneous stability, or intact stability, a measure of how a vessel's buoyancy is distributed
• 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, - inherently unstable aircraft
• Social stability, lack of civil unrest in a society
• 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
• The Stability E.P., a 2002 three song EP by Death Cab for Cutie
