Extract

One of the most important techniques in the theory of non-linear differential equations is the direct method of Lyapunov and its extensions. It depends basically on the fact that a function satisfying the inequality

is majorized by the maximal solution of the equation

Using this comparison principle and the concept of Lyapunov's function various properties of solutions of differential equations have been considered (1–11).
