Review text

The authors consider the system \[ \dot{x}=F(x) \] with \(\dim x = n\) and \(F: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n\) satisfying the existence and uniqueness conditions. They study the connection between asymptotic stability of a given equilibrium and the property of a saddle at infinity in the sense of \textit{V. V. Nemytskii} and \textit{V. V. Stepanov} [Qualitative theory of differential equations. New Jersey: Princeton University Press (1960; Zbl 0089.29502)]. Several theorems are proved. Among them, the most important result is Theorem 4 claiming that for the nonexistence of a saddle at infinity it is necessary and sufficient that there exists ``a nondecreasing function \(\sigma: [0, \infty) \rightarrow [0, \infty)\) such that \(\|x(t)\| \leq \sigma(\|x(0)+x(t)\|)\), \(0 \leq t \leq T\), for any solution \(x(t)\) defined on the closed interval \([0, T]\).
