摘要
We investigate the general asymptotic behaviour of Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) models with an inflaton field, scalar-tensor FRW cosmological models and diagonal Bianchi-IX models by means of Lyapunov's method. This method provides information not only about the asymptotic stability of a given equilibrium point but also about its basin of attraction. This cannot be obtained by the usual methods found in the literature, such as linear stability analysis or first-order perturbation techniques. Moreover, Lyapunov's method is also applicable to non-autonomous systems. We use this advantage to investigate the mechanism of reheating for the inflaton field in FRW models.
