Abstract:

For a $3$-dimensional cooperative vector field $F$, we present a new global stability result which is the same as that of Hirsch [4] except that we do not assume that $\operatorname {Div} F \leq 0$ or that the equilibrium is stable. Thus we solve the "interesting problem" pointed out by Hirsch [4].
