Abstract

This paper discusses the connection between various instability definitions (namely, Lyapunov instability, Poincaré or orbital instability, Zhukovskij instability) and chaotic movements. It is demonstrated that the notion of Zhukovskij instability is the most adequate for describing chaotic movements. In order to investigate this instability, a new type of linearization is offered and the connection between that and the theorems of Borg, Hartman-Olech, and Leonov is established. By means of new linearization, analytical conditions of the existence of strange attractors for impulse stochastic generators are obtained. The assumption is expressed that an analogous analytical tool may be elaborated for continuous dynamical systems describing Chua's circuits. The paper makes a first step in this direction and establishes a frequency criterion of the existence of positive invariant sets with positive Lebesgue measure for piecewise linear systems, which are unstable in every region of phase space where they are linear.
