We consider the second-order gradient-like system where F : R N Ä R is analytic and g: R N Ä R N is Lipschitz and coercive with g(0)=0. We prove the convergence of global and bounded solutions of (1) to some equilibrium points.

Abstract
S. Łojasiewicz has shown that the ω ‐limit sets of the trajectories of analytic gradient systems consist of at most one point. We extend this result to the larger class of gradient‐like vector fields satisfying an angle condition. In particular, this includes gradient systems, defined by arbitrary C^1^ functions from an analytic‐geometric category. Corresponding pointwise convergence results are shown for discrete gradient‐like algorithms on a Riemannian manifold. This generalizes recent results by Absil, Mahony, and Andrews to the Riemannian geometry setting. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The expansion of a distribution or function in regular orthogonal wavelets is considered. The expansion of a function is shown to converge uniformly on compact subsets of intervals of continuity. The expansion of a distribution is shown to converge pointwise to the value of the distribution where it
