Extract

In the paper which forms the basis for the modern asymptotic theory of linear differential systems, Levinson [22] considered the system

on an interval [a, ∞), where

(1) A is a constant nÜn matrix with n distinct eigenvalues and either

(2a) R(x) is L(a, ∞)

or

(2b) R(x)→0 as x→∞ and R'(x) is L(a, ∞).
