Hyers-Ulam stability for differential systems with $2\times 2$ constant coefficient matrix

Abstract

We explore the Hyers-Ulam stability of perturbations for a homogeneous linear differential system with $2\times 2$ constant coefficient matrix. New necessary and sufficient conditions for the linear system to be Hyers-Ulam stable are proven, and for the first time, the best (minimal) Hyers-Ulam constant for systems is found in some cases. Several examples are provided. Obtaining the best Hyers-Ulam constant for second-order constant coefficient differential equations illustrates the applicability of the strong results.
