Abstract
We prove that stability is undecidable for dynamical systems whose right-hand side is explicitly written in the language of elementary analysis.
The results presented here were originally conceived while the second author was visiting the IMSSS at Stanford University as a Senior Fulbright Scholar in 1990. This paper was partially supported by FAPESP and CNPq (Brazil) and JNICT (Portugal). The authors thank their institutions, the Department of Philosophy, University of São Paulo, and the Research Center on Mathematical Theories of Communication, Federal University at Rio de Janeiro, for continuing support of their work.
