The monograph is devoted to some stability problems arising from the study of various synchronization objects: systems constructed by the use of principles of phase auto-adjustment of the frequency, synchronous machines, vibrational units with several disbalanced exciters and other systems. In the first chapter the authors present some examples of systems operating on the base of the principle of phase synchronization and describe the corresponding mathematical problems. In the second chapter the mathematical apparatus necessary for the investigation of stability problems for nonlinear feedback control systems is suggested. It includes the second Lyapunov method, the Popov frequency-domain method, the Yakubovich-Kalman frequency theorem and other tools. The third chapter entitled ``Stability and oscillations of phase systems with lumped parameters'' is devoted to some criteria for stability, unstability and oscillation of phase synchronization systems governed by ODE's. In the fourth chapter the results of the previous section are extended to distributed parameters systems whose mathematical description includes Volterra integro-differential equations. In the last chapter the stability theory methods are applied to discrete phase synchronization systems. The obtained stability and unstability criteria are used for the approximation of stability domains for concrete radio-engineering, mechanical and electro-mechanical objects.
