to (1) and generates a trajectory completely lying in

Ω

+

.

So, we have to

prove existence of a trajectory of the first type.

Assume the converse. Then any trajectory passing through a point

s

∈

Ω

−

∩

S

3

must reach the boundary

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

.

Thus we obtain the

mapping

Ω

−

∩

S

3

→

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

.

To prove its continuity we represent it as

s

∈

Ω

−

∩

S

3

7

→

Traj

p

0

(

s, ξ

(

s

))

∈

∈

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

.

Here

Traj

p

0

(

s, t

)

is the point in

S

3

reached at the time

t

by the trajectory

of the dynamical system on the sphere that passed

s

at the time

0

.

The

mapping

Traj

p

0

:

S

3

×

R

→

S

3

is continuous according to the general

properties of differential equations.

The function

ξ

: Ω

−

∩

S

3

→

R

gives the time

t

at which the trajectory

passing through the given point of

Ω

−

at

t

0

= 0

reaches

∂

Ω

−

.

Now we

prove continuity of

ξ.

Suppose

ξ

(

s

1

) =

t

1

and

ε >

0

.

Then, since

Traj

p

0

(

s

1

, t

1

+

ε

)

is inside

Ω

+

,

there exists a neighborhood

U

+

of

s

1

such that for any

s

∈

U

+

the

point

Traj

p

0

(

s, t

1

+

ε

)

is also inside

Ω

+

.

So, we have

ξ

(

s

)

< t

1

+

ε

for all

s

∈

U

+

.

Similarly, since

Traj

p

0

(

s

1

, t

1

−

ε

)

is inside

Ω

−

,

there exists a neighbor-

hood

U

−

of

s

1

such that for any

s

∈

U

−

the point

Traj

p

0

(

s, t

1

−

ε

)

is also

inside

Ω

−

,

whence

ξ

(

s

)

> t

1

−

ε.

So, for all

s

∈

U

−

∩

U

+

we have

|

ξ

(

s

)

−

t

1

|

< ε.

Thus

ξ

(

s

)

is continuous

on

Ω

−

∩

S

3

and we have the continuous mapping

Ω

−

∩

S

3

→

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

whose restriction to

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

is the identity map. In other words, we

have the composition

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

→

Ω

−

∩

S

3

→

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

,

which is

the identity map, inducing the identity map on the homology groups:

H

2

(

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

)

→

H

2

(Ω

−

∩

S

3

)

→

H

2

(

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

)

.

Since

Ω

−

∩

S

3

and

∂

Ω

−

∩

S

3

are homeomorphic to the solid torus

and the torus surface respectively, the above composition can be written

as

Z

→

0

→

Z

,

which cannot be the identity mapping. This contradiction

proves the lemma.

I

Lemma 5.

Suppose

y

(

x

)

is a non-trivial solution to equation

(1)

maximally extended to the right. Then neither

y

(

x

)

nor any of its derivatives

y

0

(

x

)

, y

00

(

x

)

, y

000

(

x

)

can have constant sign near the right boundary of their

domain.

J

We prove it for

y

(

x

)

.

For the derivatives the proof is just similar.

Suppose

y

(

x

)

is defined on an interval

(

x

−

, x

+

)

,

bounded or not, and is

positive in a neighborhood of

x

+

.

Then

y

000

(

x

)

,

due to (1), is monotonically

decreasing to a finite or infinite limit as

x

→

x

+

.

Then

y

000

(

x

)

ultimately

has a constant sign. In the same way,

y

00

(

x

)

, y

0

(

x

)

,

and

y

(

x

)

itself are all

ultimately monotone and have finite or infinite limits as

x

→

x

+

.
