Improvement of Hartman’s linearization theorem

Hartman’s linearization theorem tells us that if matrix A has no zero real part and f(x) is bounded and satisfies Lipchitz condition with small Lipchitzian constant, then there exists a homeomorphism of ℝ N sending the solutions of nonlinear system x′ = Ax + f(x) onto the solutions of linear system x′ = Ax. In this paper, some components of the nonlinear item f(x) are permitted to be unbounded and we prove the result of global topological linearization without any special limitation and adding any condition. Thus, Hartman’s linearization theorem is improved essentially.
