CQ is symmetric, then
system (18) is dichotomic for all slope restricted
nonlinear functions satisfying (19). If additionally,
all equilibria are isolated, then each bounded
solution approaches an equilibrium point.

(18) includes neural networks (13) provided the
functions involved there have special forms that
are quite easy to deduce ( op. cit. ).
The study of the qualitative properties of (18)
has different approaches (Noldus et al. , 1994, 1995;
Danciu & Răsvan, 2000). We shall present here
the approach which places the problem within
the field of The Theory of Systems with Several
Equilibria (Danciu & Răsvan, 2000). Two cases

Theorem 2. Consider system (18) under the
assumptions of Theorem 1. Assume additionally
that it is minimally stable, the nonlinear functions
satisfy (21) and the equilibria are isolated. Then
each solution of (18) approaches asymptotically
an equilibrium state (the system (18) is gradi-
ent-like).

For systems with sector restricted nonlin-
earities, the required minimal stability property
(notion introduced by V.M. Popov (1966, 1973)
means that in order to obtain stability for all
nonlinear (and linear) functions from some sector,
it is (minimally) necessary to have this property
for a single linear function within this sector. In
our case system (18) has to be internally stable
for a linear function of the class: there exist the
