The author considers the nonlinear second-order system (1) \(\dot x=(1/a(x))[c(y)-b(x)]\), \(\dot y=-a(x)[h(y)-e(t)]\) with \(a(x)>0\). Using suitable Lyapunov functions he obtains sufficient conditions for all solutions of (1) to be bounded or to tend to zero as \(t\to\infty\). Applying these results to the generalized Liénard equation \(\ddot x+(f(x)+g(x)\dot x)\dot x+h(x)=e(t)\), he is able to improve and extend, among others, certain results of \textit{H. A. Antosiewicz} [J. London Math. Soc. 30, 64--67 (1955; Zbl 0064.08404)] and \textit{T. Yoshizawa} [Contrib. Differ. Equations 1, 371--387 (1963; Zbl 0127.30802)].
