Lyapunov's second method is a well-known and powerful tool for studying the behaviour of solutions of a system of differential equations. One approach to the theory is the comparison method developed by Corduneanu (4). This approach has the advantage that it also leads to other results on asymptotic behaviour which originally appeared to be unrelated to Lyapunov's method. Some of these results have been obtained by the author in (2). The purpose of this paper is to make use of the comparison method to obtain some refinements of Lyapunov's theory.
