Using the direct Lyapunov method we obtained analytical expressions for the critical dimensions of the site and of the magnitude of perturbations in it for a one-dimensional problem. A satisfactory agreement of the obtained relations with numerical calculations and experimental data is shown. %8 2001-04-01
