In a [[dynamical system]], '''multistability''' is the property of having multiple [[Stability theory|stable equilibrium points]] in the [[vector space]] spanned by the states in the system. By mathematical necessity, there must also be unstable equilibrium points between the stable points. Points that are stable in some dimensions and unstable in others are termed unstable, as is the case with the first three [[Lagrangian points]]. | In a [[dynamical system]], '''multistability''' is the property of having multiple [[Stability theory|stable equilibrium points]] in the [[vector space]] spanned by the states in the system.
