Abstract
Differential equations of the form y′=f(t,y,y′), where f is not
necessarily linear in its arguments, represent certain physical phenomena
and solutions have been known for quite some time. The well known
Clairut's and Chrystal's equations fall into this category. Earlier
existence of solutions of first order initial value problems and stability of
solutions of first order ordinary differential system of the above type were
established. In this paper we study boundedness and asymptotic stability
in the large of solutions of an ordinary differential system of the above
type under certain natural hypotheses on f.
