Abstract: We prove Lyapunov instability for cases in which the local minimum of the potential energy is reached on a hypersurface of the configuration space. In contrast to the known results in this direction, which hold for potentials satisfying hypotheses in the first non-zero jet, this new result covers several real analytic cases that the previous ones do not.
