The convergence of solutions of the system of differential equations \(\dot x_i= F_i(x_1,\dots,x_n)\) \((x\in\mathbb{R}^n_+)\) is determined. If the following conditions are satisfied: (i) \(F(0)\geq 0\), (ii) \(F_i(x_1,\dots,x_n)\) is monotone increasing in \(x_k\) \((k\neq i)\); (iii) \(F(x*g(s))\geq h(s)* F(x)\) \((0\leq s\leq 1)\), where \(x*y= (x_1y_1,\dots, x_ny_n)\), \(g,h:[0,1]\to[0,1]^n\) satisfying \(g_i(0)= h_i(0)= 0\), \(g_i(1)= h_i(1)= 1\), \(0< g_i(s)\), \(h_i(s)<1\), \(s\in(0,1)\); (iv) every solution of the system is bounded in \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\); then every solution is convergent to the equilibrium point. Moreover, this result is developed for order-preserving discrete-time dynamical systems.
