We define atomistic stability using a second derivative test. More precisely, atomistic stability is equivalent to a vanishing first derivative of the configurational energy (at the corresponding point) and the coerciveness of the second derivative of the configurational energy with respect to an appropriate semi-norm. Atomistic stability of a lattice is well understood, see, e.,g., [40]. The aim of this thesis is to generalize the theory to objective structures. In particular, we first investigate discrete subgroups of the Euclidean group, then define an appropriate seminorm and the atomistic stability for a given objective structure, and finally provide an efficient algorithm to check its atomistic stability. The algorithm particularly checks the validity of the Cauchy-Born rule for objective structures. To illustrate our results, we prove numerically the stability of a carbon nanotube by applying the algorithm. 517 $aOn the Stability of Objective Structures 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aMathematics 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aMathematics. 676 $a530.15 700 $aSteinbach$b Martin$01229891 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774892703321 996 $aOn the Stability of Objective Structures$92854906 997 $aUNINA
