ABSTRACT

It is with pleasure and gratitude that we honor Professor Larry Markus for his contributions to mathematics. In 1956 he published Asymptotically autonomous differential systems [6] in a series called Contributions to the Study of Nonlinear Oscillations— a subject which today would be called “Dynamical Systems”. The present article is a direct descendant of Markus' influential paper, through Conway, Hoff and Smoller [2].
