LET A4 be a compact manifold with boundary aM and denote by%^‘(M, JM) the space of C’vector fields on M, that are tangent to dM endowed with the usual C’topology. In this space it is natural to define structural stability as in the boundaryless case, namely saying that XE a’(M, c? M) is C’structurally stable if it has a C’neighborhood 9 such that every YE@ is topologically equivalent to X, ie, there exists a homeomorphism h: M, J mapping orbits of X onto orbits of Y and preserving their time orientation. In the boundaryless case, satisfactory sufficient conditions for structural stability have been obtained (following a conjecture of Palis-Smale [lo]) by Robbin [12] and Robinson [133 and recently Mafib [S] completed the proof of the necessity of these conditions for C1 structural stability.The objective of this work is to continue the line of research of [3],[4] and [6], whose final aim is to find a characterization of the structurally stable elements of 5!“‘(M, 8M). Here we shall give a complete answer to this question for vector fields whose nonwandering set is simple, ie, consisting of a finite set of orbits. As explained in [6], our results can also be interpreted in the context of stability of Z,-equivariant vector fields. In order to make precise statements about our results let us first introduce some basic notations and definitions.
