    The purpose of the paper under review is to prove a reduction principle for the instability property of a closed positively invariant set \(M\) for semidynamical systems. This result is not traditional because of the assumption on the existence of a closed positively invariant set with respect to which the set \(M\) has the attraction property. The corresponding instability theorem of the method of sign-constant Lyapunov functions is presented. This generalizes the well-known Chetaev and Krasovskii theorems for systems of ordinary differential equations, theorems on the instability with respect to some of the variables, and also the Shimanov and Hale theorems for systems with retarded argument. Interesting illustrating examples are given.
