Lyapunov–Malkin theorem

The Lyapunov–Malkin theorem is a mathematical theorem that helps us find out if a system will stay in the same place forever or if it will keep changing over time. The theorem tells us what will happen in a system. It is like a mathematical equation that looks at the parts of the system, like how big it is and whether it is growing or shrinking, to figure out if the system will keep doing the same things it is doing now or if it will change. This theorem is important for predicting what will happen in a system, like a weather system or an economy, so that we can plan for the future.
