Olech theorem

In dynamical systems theory, the Olech theorem establishes sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of a two-equation system of non-linear differential equations. The result was established by Czesław Olech in 1963, based on joint work with Philip Hartman.

Theorem

The differential equations , , where , for which is an equilibrium point, is uniformly globally asymptotically stable if:

(a) the trace of the Jacobian matrix is negative, for all ,
(b) the Jacobian determinant is positive, for all , and
(c) the system is coupled everywhere with either
