Abstract
In this section we study the decay to zero of solutions of the equation
where f is a smooth function with
where a is a constant. By using a suitable Liapunov function it is easy to show that the zero solution of (3.1.1) is asymptotically stable. However, because f′(0) = 0, the rate of decay cannot be determined by linearization.
