Abstract

In this paper we introduce a theory of Lyapunov stability of sets for semigroup actions on Tychonoff spaces. We also present the main properties and the main results relating these new concepts. We generalize several concepts and results of Lyapunov stable sets from Bhatia and Hajek (Local Semi-Dynamical Systems. Lecture Notes in Mathematics, vol. 90. Springer, Berlin, 1969), Bhatia and Szegö (Dynamical Systems: Stability Theory and Applications. Lecture Notes in Mathematics, vol. 35. Springer, Berlin, 1967; and Stability Theory of Dynamical Systems. Springer, Berlin, 1970).
