%0 Journal Article %T Asymptotic stability for second-order differential equations with complex coefficients %A Gro R. Hovhannisyan %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2004 %I Texas State University %X We prove asymptotical stability and instability results for a general second-order differential equations with complex-valued functions as coefficients. To prove asymptotic stability of linear second-order differential equations, we use the technique of asymptotic representations of solutions and error estimates. For nonlinear second-order differential equations, we extend the asymptotic stability theorem of Pucci and Serrin to the case of complex-valued coefficients. %K Asymptotic stability %K asymptotic representation %K WKB solution %K second order differential equation. %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2004/85/abstr.html
