Stable and Unstable Systems Most of the control system theory involves estimation of stability of systems. Stability is an important parameter which determines its applicability. Stability of a system is formulated in bounded input bounded output sense i.e. a system is stable if its response is bounded for a bounded input (bounded means finite). An unstable system is one in which the output of the system is unbounded for a bounded input. The response of an unstable system diverges to infinity.
