Choose the ellipsoidal Lyapunov function $V=x^2+2y^2$. Direct substitution of the printed vector field givesThe weighted Cauchy-Schwarz inequality gives $(x-y{)}^2\le \frac{3}{2}(x^2+2y^2)=3V/2$, soFor any initial point with $V(0)<2/3$, choose $c$ with $V(0)<c<2/3$. The compact ellipse $V\le c$ is positively invariant, since $\dot{V}<0$ on its boundary. Inside it,This establishes global forward existence for those trajectories and convergence to the origin, while the First Lyapunov theorem establishes stability. The origin is asymptotically stable and its basin contains $\boxed{x^2+2y^2<2/3}$. The PDF coefficient in the second equation is $x^{2}y/2$, with the entire linear term $-x$; placing the factor $1/2$ on the linear term would destroy this factorization.
