Abstract

In this paper, a global analysis of equilibrium stability in 1-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems is presented. The classification of dynamical systems is given first, and infinite-equilibrium systems are defined. The 1-dimensional dynamical systems with a single equilibrium are discussed. The 1-dimensional dynamical systems with two and three equilibriums are discussed. Simple and higher-order equilibriums in 1-dimensional dynamical systems are analyzed, and a higherorder equilibrium is an equilibrium with higher-order singularity. The flows of equilibriums in 1-dimensional systems in phase space are illustrated for a better understanding of the global stability of equilibriums in 1-dimensional dynamical systems.
