Abstract
A stability criterion for nonlinear systems is presented and can be viewed as a dual to Lyapunov´s second theorem. The criterion has a physical interpretation in terms of the stationary density of a substance that is generated in all points of the state space and flows along the system trajectories. If the stationary density is finite everywhere except at a singularity in the origin, then the system is stable in the sense that almost all trajectories converge towards the origin
