Question about system stability

In summary, the question is whether a system is stable if its pole is located on the margin of the unit circle in the z-plane. The person asking is unsure because they have read that poles must be inside the unit circle for stability, but are unsure about poles on the margin. They are looking for a precise answer before an exam in 5 hours.

If a system transfer function has a pole equal with 1 , j, cos(pi/4)+j*sin(pi/4) in other words its location is on the margin of the unit circle, it`s the system stable? In my opinion it`s not stable because we have a sum of 1 which doesn't converge but I am not sure. Everywhere I've read it says the poles must be inside the unit circle but it doesn't say anything about poles on the margin of the unit circle. Can somebody give me a precise answer? Thanks!
Edit: I am referring to z-plane

What does this (above) mean?

What's the z-plane? Do you mean the plane z = 0?

Iam talking about z transform and stability analysis.
Like if H(z)=z/(z-1), pole is 1. is it stable?
I have exam in 5 hours and i need an answer .

FAQ: Question about system stability

What is system stability?

System stability refers to the ability of a system to maintain a steady and consistent performance over time. It is an important aspect of a system's reliability and efficiency.

Why is system stability important?

System stability is important because it ensures that a system can function properly and consistently without unexpected crashes or failures. It also allows for accurate and reliable data analysis and decision making.

How is system stability measured?

System stability can be measured through various metrics such as mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to failure (MTTF), and mean time to repair (MTTR). These metrics help to quantify the reliability and performance of a system.

What factors can affect system stability?

There are several factors that can affect system stability, including hardware failures, software bugs or glitches, external disruptions, and changes in system configurations or usage patterns. It is important to regularly monitor and maintain a system to prevent and address these potential issues.

How can system stability be improved?

System stability can be improved through proper design and implementation, regular maintenance and updates, and implementing redundancy and backup systems. It is also important to have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan in case of any unexpected failures or disruptions.
