stability

 

1. for a feedback control system or element, the property such that its output is asymptotic, i.e., will ultimately attain a steady state within the linear range and without continuing external stimuli. For certain nonlinear systems or elements, the property such that the output remains bounded, e.g., in a limit cycle of continued oscillation, when the input is bounded.

2. (general) property of a system or element by virtue of which its output will ultimately attain a steady state
