TY - JOUR TT - SOLVING A STABILITY PROBLEM BY POLYA'S FOUR STEPS AU - Alacacı, Cengiz AU - Doğruel, Murat PY - 2011 DA - June JF - International Journal of Electronics Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering JO - IJEMME PB - Istanbul Aydin University WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-0604 SP - 19 EP - 28 VL - 1 IS - 1 KW - Saturation Nonlinearity KW - Lyapunov stability KW - Teaching problem solving and heuristic strategies N2 - In this paper, we consider the proof of stability of a nonlinear system. We found it useful to employ Polya’s general four step problem solving process to organize and present the solution and our thinking. Polya's ideas can help us become aware of how we think when we solve problems. Reflecting on how we solve a problem allows us make conceptual connections between a problem at hand and the problems we may need to solve in the future UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/ijemme/article/275785 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/256984 ER -
