    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability–instability...

    The stability–instability paradox is an international relations theory regarding the effect of nuclear weapons and mutually assured destruction.It states that when two countries each have nuclear weapons, the probability of a direct war between them greatly decreases, but the probability of minor or indirect conflicts between them increases.

    Bootstrap paradox (also ontological paradox): You send information/an object to your past self, but you only have that information/object because in the past, you received it from your future self. This means the information/object was never created, yet still exists.

    BIBO stability (Bounded Input, Bounded Output stability), in signal processing and control theory; Directional stability, the tendency for a body moving with respect to a medium to point in the direction of motion; Elastic stability, the resistance of a structural member to buckling; Flight dynamics, including longitudinal stability

  5. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    In mathematics, stability theory addresses the stability of solutions of differential equations and of trajectories of dynamical systems under small perturbations of initial conditions. The heat equation , for example, is a stable partial differential equation because small perturbations of initial data lead to small variations in temperature ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paradoxes

    Wikipedia also contains paradoxes. In Wikipedia, there are a number of paradoxes. This is intended to be a high-level overview of the major conceptual paradoxes within our project. Paradox 1: Immutable change Authoritative writing strives for perpetual immutability, or "perfection." Wikis facilitate dynamic change that negates immutability and ...

    If there is a limiting distribution for the distribution of interest, the stability postulate states that the limiting distribution must be for some sequence of transformed or "reduced" values, such as ( + ) , where , may depend on n but not on x .
