            Abstract : 
In this paper we provide a theoretical foundation of the PEBS method. First, we study the properties of the stability boundary of a gradient system. We then relate the stability boundary of a class of second-order dynamical systems to the gradient system. Using these results, we analyze the PEBS method. Conditions under which the PEBS method gives accurate stability estimate are discussed.
