Let R, R+, and R- be the intervals (-∞, ∞), [0, ∞), and ( — ∞, 0] respectively. Let m be a positive integer, and let be the algebra of all m X m matrices. Let A be a locally integrable function from R to We propose to study the problems

(NH) u‘(t) = f(t) + A﹛t)u﹛t)

and

(H) v‘(t) =A(t)v(t)

in Rm. (H) and (NH) will denote whole-line problems, whereas (H)+, (NH)+, (H)-, and (NH)- will denote corresponding semi-axis problems.

In [1] (see also [2, Theorem 1, p. 131]), W. A. Coppel obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for each bounded Continuous/ on R+ to yield at least one bounded solution u of (NH)+. The present author [3] has determined that an analogous result holds for (NH).
