On the Global Structure of a Class of Dynamic Systems
by
R. Rautmann
Paderborn, Germany

In the open positive cone Rn+ of the Euclidian n-space Rn we consider a class of nonlinear dynamic systems (*) x' = f(x) having there a unique critical point x* which can be calculated from a system of linear equations related to f.
(i) Under a stability condition (being easy to check in concrete cases) the one-point set { x* } represents the limit set of all trajectories of (*) in Rn+ , thus x* being asymptotically and globally stable. With an additional regularity assumption this stability condition will become even a necessary one.
(ii) In nonstable cases we get estimates for the domains of attraction of the origin or the point at infinity, respectively. Numerical results will be shown in 3-dimensional cases.
