Your question is too broad, as I said. There's so much one can say on
stable and unstable fixed points that I can't elaborate in any
reasonable way. It would really be better for you to narrow down what
it is you want. You would also help by giving a picture of what your
knowledge is of dynamical systems theory and other relevant background.
