Abstract: We discuss the Minkowski stability problem in modified gravity by using dynamical system approach. The method to investigate dynamical stability of Minkowski space was proposed. This method was applied for some modified gravity theories, such as $f(R)$ gravity, $f(R)+alphaRBoxR$ gravity and scalar-tensor gravity models with non-minimal kinetic coupling. It was shown that in the case of $f(R)$ gravity Minkowski solution asymptotically stable in ghost-free ($f^{\prime }>0$) and tachyon-free ($$) theories in expanding Universe with respect to isotropic and basic anisotropic perturbations. In the case of higher order gravity with $alphaRBoxR$ correction conditions of Minkowski stability with respect to isotropic perturbations significantly different: $f^{\prime }(0)<0$, $$ and $$. And in the case of scalar-tensor gravity with non-minimal kinetic coupling Minkowski solution asymptotically stable in expanding Universe with respect to isotropic perturbations of metric. Moreover the developed method may be used for finding additional restrictions on parameters of different modified gravity theories.
