Autonomous systems. This note concerns the stability of systems of (real) differential equations in the large on Euclidean space En and on certain Riemannian manifolds Mn. The results will be refinements of those of Krasovski (3), (4), (5) and of Markus and Yamabe (8) and will make clear the role of the various assumptions in the type of theorems under consideration.

In this section, the main theorems are stated for autonomous systems

(1)

Their proofs are given in § 2, 3, 4. In § 5, 6, 7, generalizations to non-autonomous systems are made.
