✦ Synopsis

The model of a mechanical system subjected to unilateral constraints, together with the model of stability based on the Aizerman-Gantmakher theory, are presented. Some examples of numerical computation of Lyapunov exponents for the system of triple physical pendulum with the horizontal barrier, using presented model of stability, are reported.
