Apr 8, 2018 at 10:45 comment added user539887 No, I don't have any idea. Incidentally, see my answer to your other question Behavior of a non-linear differential equation.
Apr 3, 2018 at 5:13 comment added Ludwig Many thanks for the clarification! A last curiosity: In all my simulations I've noticed that (local) stability is also promoted by choosing $v$ and $w$ very different (i.e. choosing $|v-w|$ very large); hence I was wondering whether some sufficient conditions for local stability that involve the terms $v$ and $w$ could be derived. By chance, do you have any idea?

Mar 28, 2018 at 9:16 comment added user539887 I mean a theorem stating that if $\varphi$ [resp. $\psi$] is a solution of $x'= f(t, x)$ [resp. $x' = g(t,x)$] with $x(t_0) = x_0$ and $f(t,x) < g(t,x)$ for all $t$ then $\varphi(t) < \psi(t)$ for $t > t_0$ as long as both solutions are defined. Its proof is straightforward, but when we relax $<$ to $\le$ the situation changes: either one has to assume something additional (e.g. Lipschitz) or there are counterexamples (see math.stackexchange.com/questions/912468/… and math.stackexchange.com/questions/158332/…).
Mar 27, 2018 at 14:32 comment added Ludwig Could you please elaborate a little more about the comparison property to solutions to ODE that you mentioned? Do you have a reference for this? Thanks!
Mar 26, 2018 at 13:17 comment added Ludwig Thanks for your answer! Your argument is ingenious and looks technically sound to me (I need to carefully check the computations though)! I've also the impression that it could be "generalized" to provide conditions for stability in more complex cases (i.e. for systems with dimension larger than 3)
