The stability of Hill’s equation with three independent parameters, two of which are small, is analyzed using a perturbation method. It is shown that, except for periodic terms of a special type, existing methods of determining stability boundaries fail. A new method, which works successfully to the first order of approximation, is described.

The stability of Hill’s equation with four independent parameters is studied by using Floquet theory and perturbations. Examples are given which demonstrate how the resulting analysis may be applied to a wide variety of stability problems.


The thermal stability of an exothermic chemically reacting slab with time-periodic surface temperature variation is examined. It is shown, on the basis of a good approximation due to Boddington, Gray and Walker, that the behaviour depends on the solutions of an ordinary differential equation of first order. The equation contains a modified amplitude, for small values of which it can be reduced to a particular form of Hill’s equation. Critical values of the Frank-Kamenetskii parameter, as a function of the amplitude ϵ and frequency ω of the surface temperature oscillations, are derived from the latter equation. For ω = 2π and 0 ≼ ϵ ≼ 2 the values are in good agreement with previously calculated ones.

The minimum damping for asymptotic stability is predicted for Hill’s equation with any bounded parametric excitation. It is shown that the response of Hill’s equation with bounded parametric excitation is exponentially bounded. The parametric excitation maximizing the bounding exponent is identified by time optimal control theory. This maximal bounding exponent is balanced by viscous damping to ensure asymptotic stability. The minimum damping ratio is calculated as a function of the excitation bound. A closed form, more conservative estimate of the minimum damping ratio is also predicted. Thus, if the general (e.g., unknown, aperiodic, or random) parametric excitation of Hill’s equation is bounded, a simple, conservative estimate of the damping required for asymptotic stability is given in this paper.
