Suppose that the real-valued function ƒ(t) is positive, continuous and monotonic increasing for t ≧ t0. If x = x (t) is a solution of the equation for for t ≧ t0, it is known that the solution x(t) oscillates infinitely often as t → ∞ and that the successive maxima of |x(t)| decrease, with increasing t. In particular x(t) is bounded as t → ∞.
