Abstract: A generalization of the Flow-box Theorem is given. The assumption of continuous differentiability of the vector field is relaxed to a local Lipschitz condition. The theorem holds in any Banach space.


The authors prove the following Theorem (Th. 4 in the paper). Let \(X\) be a Banach space, \(U\) be an open subset of \(X\), \(f: U\to X\) be a Lipschitz vector field. Assume that \(g: X\to X\) is a non-zero constant vector field. Then for every \(x^*\in U\) such that \(f(x^*)\neq 0\), \(f\) and \(g\) are locally topologically conjugate near \(x^*\) and \(0\). The homeomorphism realizing the conjugacy, as well as its inverse, are Lipschitzian. [Two vector fields \(f_i: U_i\to X\) (\(i=1,2\)) are locally topologically conjugate near \(x_1\in U_1\) and \(x_2\in U_2\) if there are open neighborhoods \(W_1\) of \(x_1\) and \(W_2\) of \(x_2\) and a homeomorphism \(\phi:W_1\to W_2\) with \(\phi(x_1)=x_2\), such that \(\sigma:I\to W_1\) is a solution of the equation \(x'=f_1(x)\) if and only if \(\phi\circ\sigma: I\to W_2\) is a solution of \(x'=f_2(x)\).] This theorem generalizes the known result since the authors replace the assumption requiring the \(C^1\) regularity of considered vector fields by the assumption that they are Lipschitzian.
