Exponential stability (source code)

= Exponential stability
{title2=$\|x(t)-x_*\|\le Ce^{-\alpha t}\|x(0)-x_*\|$}

= Exponentially stable
{synonym}

An equilibrium has <exponential stability> when sufficiently small displacements satisfy an estimate $\|x(t)-x_*\|\le C e^{-\alpha t}\|x(0)-x_*\|$ for some $C,\alpha>0$.
