Characteristic-root behavior links a regulator's parameters to decaying or growing disturbances and oscillations in specified low-order models.
Scientific scope
Characteristic-root behavior links a regulator's parameters to decaying or growing disturbances and oscillations in specified low-order models. The inspected opening treats disturbances near steady motion. Maxwell explicitly did not give general stability conditions beyond the third-order cases considered; this is not a universal nonlinear stability criterion.
