Stability by Fixed Point Theory for Functional Differential Equations (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Inglés) nov 2006
by T A Burton
It concentrates on dynamic systems with delays but the ideas can be useful for other kinds of differential equations.
Basically , the basic actions to take are : a) To write the solution in an integral form, b) to take norms of the formula and may be pass it with an inequality to the norm of the expression under the integral symbol, c) to upper-bound the above expression by real constants, functions etc. ( some upperbounding constant is supposed to be less than one in the contractive case -or equal to one in the non-expansive, non-contractive one- ,d) Compare the solutions for two distinct initial conditions by checking conditions of this error to converge asymptotically to zero and the solutions are bounded.
Probably , in that case, you have a fixed point, which is also an equilibrium point. You have , as a result, either global or local Lyapunov asymptotic stability depending on the region where the iniital conditions and trajectory solution belong to. Fixed Point Theory can be used in this context to prove uniqueness of the solution for each given init.cond. and also for stability analysis.
