Let $x \in C ^ { 2 } \left( \left[ 0 , + \infty \left[ ; \mathbb { R } ^ { n } \right) \right. \right.$ be a solution of the differential equation (1). For each real $t \geq 0$ we set, $T \left( x ^ { \prime } \right) ( t ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \left\langle A x ^ { \prime } ( t ) ; x ^ { \prime } ( t ) \right\rangle$ and $U ( x ) ( t ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \langle K x ( t ) ; x ( t ) \rangle$. Show then that the quantity $T \left( x ^ { \prime } \right) ( t ) + U ( x ) ( t )$ does not depend on $t \in [ 0 , + \infty [$.
