The preservation of quadratic integrals on approximate solutions of autonomous systems of ordinary differential equations x=f(x), found by the trapezoidal scheme, is investigated. For this purpose, a relation has been established between the trapezoidal scheme and the midpoint scheme, which preserves all quadratic integrals of motion by virtue of Coopers theorem. This relation allows considering the trapezoidal scheme as dual to the midpoint scheme and to find a dual analogue for Coopers theorem by analogy with the duality principle in projective geometry. It is proved that on the approximate solution found by the trapezoidal scheme, not the quadratic integral itself is preserved, but a more complicated expression, which turns into an integral in the limit as t0.Thus the concept of conjugate difference schemes is investigated in pure algebraic way. The results are illustrated by examples of linear and elliptic oscillators. In both cases, expressions preserved by the trapezoidal scheme are presented explicitly.

Certain nonlinear autonomous ordinary differential equations of the second order are reduced to Abel equations of the first kind ((Ab-1) equations). Based on the results of a previous work, concerning a closed-form solution of a general (Ab-1) equation, and introducing an arbitrary function, exact one-parameter families of solutions are derived for the original autonomous equations, for the most of which only first integrals (in closed or parametric form) have been obtained so far. Two-dimensional autonomous systems of differential equations of the first order, equivalent to the considered herein autonomous forms, are constructed and solved by means of the developed analysis.

Autonomous systems. This note concerns the stability of systems of (real) differential equations in the large on Euclidean space En and on certain Riemannian manifolds Mn. The results will be refinements of those of Krasovski (3), (4), (5) and of Markus and Yamabe (8) and will make clear the role of the various assumptions in the type of theorems under consideration.In this section, the main theorems are stated for autonomous systems(1)Their proofs are given in § 2, 3, 4. In § 5, 6, 7, generalizations to non-autonomous systems are made.
