Some authors have employed the method and technique of differential inequalities to obtain fairly general results concerning the existence and asymptotic behavior, as ∊ → 0+, of the solutions of scalar boundary value problems
∊y" = h(t,y), a < t < b,
y(a,∊) = A, y(b,∊) = B.
In this paper, we extend these results to vector boundary value problems, under analogous stability conditions on the solution u = u(t) of the reduced equation 0 = h(t,u).
Two types of asymptotic behavior are studied, depending on whether the reduced solution u(t) has or does not have a continuous first derivative in (a,b), leading to the phenomena of boundary and angular layers.
