“…Also, global stability in the presence of locally unstable equilibria is a typical case for systems describing pendulums, PLLs [11,21,46,69], and electric machines [64]. 4 See, e.g., Andronov-Hopf bifurcation [2,5] and Bautin's "safe" and "dangerous" boundaries of stability [9], and corresponding birth of hidden Chua attractors [43,101]. model has a global bounded convex absorbing set, then over time, the state of the system, observed experimentally, will be attracted to the local attractor contained in the absorbing set.…”
