Extract

1. The proofs of many results in the theory of stability and boundedness basically depend on dividing the vicinity of some kind of invariant set (or other convenient set) into suitable subsets and then trying either to prove that solutions cannot leave such sets or to estimate the escape time. This observation makes it possible to give some global results in terms of arbitrary sets which can be employed as tools in dealing with various problems of stability and boundedness. In applications, these tools enlarge the class of useful Lyapunov like functions and also offer more flexibility.
