We consider the existence of invariant manifolds to evolution equations u'(t)=Au(t), A:D(A)\subset \mathbb {X}\to \mathbb {X} near its equilibrium A(0)=0 under the assumption that its proto-derivative \partial A(x) exists and is continuous in x\in D(A) in the sense of Yosida distance. Yosida distance between two (unbounded) linear operators U and V in a Banach space \mathbb {X} is defined as d_Y(U,V)≔\limsup _{\mu \to +\infty } \| U_\mu -V_\mu \|, where U_\mu and V_\mu are the Yosida approximations of U and V, respectively. We show that the above-mentioned equation has local stable and unstable invariant manifolds near an exponentially dichotomous equilibrium if the proto-derivative of \partial A is continuous in the sense of Yosida distance. The Yosida distance approach allows us to generalize the well-known results with possible applications to larger classes of partial differential equations and functional differential equations. The obtained results seem to be new. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from a characterization of polynomial dichotomy by means of admissibility, recently proved in [Dragicevic, D.; Sasu, A. L.; Sasu, B. Admissibility and polynomial dichotomy of discrete nonautonomous systems. Carpath. J. Math. 38 (2022), 737-762.], the aim of this paper is to explore the roughness of polynomial dichotomy in the presence of perturbations and to obtain a new robustness criterion. We show that the polynomial dichotomy is robust when subjected to linear additive perturbations which are bounded by a well-chosen sequence. We emphasize that the new bounds imposed to the perturbation family improve and extend the previous approaches. Furthermore, we mention that the main result applies to discrete nonautonomous systems in Banach spaces with the only requirement that their propagators exhibit a polynomial growth.

In this paper, we apply Lin's method to study the existence of heteroclinic orbits near the degenerate heteroclinic chain under m$$ m $$‐dimensional periodic perturbations. The heteroclinic chain consists of two degenerate heteroclinic orbits γ1$$ {\gamma}_1 $$ and γ2$$ {\gamma}_2 $$ connected by three hyperbolic saddle points q1,q2,q3$$ {q}_1,{q}_2,{q}_3 $$. Assume that the degeneracy of the unperturbed heteroclinic orbit γi$$ {\gamma}_i $$ is ni$$ {n}_i $$, the splitting index is δi$$ {\delta}_i $$. By applying Lin's method, we construct heteroclinic orbits connected q1$$ {q}_1 $$ and q3$$ {q}_3 $$ near the unperturbed heteroclinic chain. The existence of these orbits is equivalent to finding zeros of the corresponding bifurcation function. The lower order terms of the bifurcation function is the map from ℝn1+n2+m$$ {\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}^{n_1+{n}_2+m} $$ to ℝn1+n2+δ1+δ2$$ {\mathrm{\mathbb{R}}}^{n_1+{n}_2+{\delta}_1+{\delta}_2} $$. Using the contraction mapping principle, we provide a detailed analysis on how zeros can exist based on different cases of splitting indices δ1$$ {\delta}_1 $$, δ2$$ {\delta}_2 $$ and then obtain the existence of the heteroclinic orbits which backward asymptotic to q1$$ {q}_1 $$ and forward asymptotic to q3$$ {q}_3 $$.

The aim of this paper is to study the robustness of the family of pullback attractors associated with a non-autonomous coupled system of strongly damped wave equations, which is a modified version of the well known Klein–Gordon–Zakharov system. Under appropriate hyperbolicity conditions, we establish the gradient-like structure of the limit pullback attractor associated with this evolution system, and we prove the continuity of the family of pullback attractors at zero.

This study deals with the Ulam stability of nonautonomous linear differential systems without assuming the condition that they admit an exponential dichotomy. In particular, the best (minimal) Ulam constants for two‐dimensional nonautonomous linear differential systems with generalized Jordan normal forms are derived. The obtained results are applicable not only to systems with solutions that exist globally on (−∞,∞)$(-\infty,\infty)$, but also to systems with solutions that blow up in finite time. New results are included even for constant coefficients. A wealth of examples are presented, and approximations of node, saddle, and focus are proposed. In addition, this is the first study to derive the best Ulam constants for nonautonomous systems other than periodic systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the roughness of nonuniform exponential dichotomies in Banach spaces subject to a new class of small linear time variable perturbations that satisfy an integral inequality which can benefit from a smallness integrability condition. We establish the continuous dependence of constants in terms of a dichotomy notion. Our proofs introduce a new development based on integral inequalities. Notably, we do not require the notion of admissibility for bounded nonlinear perturbations. Furthermore, we derive related roughness results for nonuniform exponential contractions and expansions. Our results are also new to uniform exponential dichotomy. We construct the evolution operator and projections directly, without the need for admissibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We show that the tempered spectrum of a sufficiently small perturbation of a sequence of matrices varies little, in the sense that it is contained in a small open neighbourhood of the tempered spectrum of the original sequence. In addition, we show that for perturbations that decay exponentially, all the Lyapunov exponents of the perturbation belong to the tempered spectrum of the original sequence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We prove that smoothness of nonautonomous linearization is of class C 2. Our approach admits the existence of stable and unstable manifolds determined by a family of nonautonomous hyperbolicities, including the non uniform exponential case, while for the classic exponential dichotomy we obtain the same class of differentiability except for a zero Lebesgue measure set. Moreover, our goal is reached without spectral conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the unique weighted measurable shadowing property for weighted pseudo-orbits of random systems on Banach spaces with the property that linear part of random system admits a tempered exponential dichotomy. We also prove for linear random systems that the tempered exponential dichotomy is necessary for the unique weighted measurable shadowing property to hold. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the problem of the exponential stability of a stationary solution for a hyperbolic system with nonlocal characteristic velocities and measurement error. The formulation of the initial boundary value problem of boundary control for the specified hyperbolic system is given. A difference scheme is constructed for the numerical solution of the considered initial boundary value problem. The definition of the exponential stability of the numerical solution in ℓ 2 -norm with respect to a discrete perturbation of the equilibrium state of the initial boundary value difference problem is given. A discrete Lyapunov function for a numerical solution is constructed, and a theorem on the exponential stability of a stationary solution of the initial boundary value difference problem in ℓ 2 -norm with respect to a discrete perturbation is proved.

In A. Czornik et al. [Spectra based on Bohl exponents and Bohl dichotomy for non-autonomous difference equations, J. Dynam. Differ. Equ. (2023)] the concept of Bohl dichotomy is introduced which is a notion of hyperbolicity for linear non-autonomous difference equations that is weaker than the classical concept of exponential dichotomy. In the class of systems with bounded invertible coefficient matrices which have bounded inverses, we study the relation between the set $ \mathrm {BD} $ BD of systems with Bohl dichotomy and the set $ \mathrm {ED} $ ED of systems with exponential dichotomy. It can be easily seen from the definition of Bohl dichotomy that $ \mathrm {ED} \subseteq \mathrm {BD} $ ED ⊆ BD . Using a counterexample we show that the closure of $ \mathrm {ED} $ ED is not contained in $ \mathrm {BD} $ BD . The main result of this paper is the characterization $ \operatorname {int}\mathrm {BD} = \mathrm {ED} $ int ⁡ BD = ED . The proof uses upper triangular normal forms of systems which are dynamically equivalent and utilizes a diagonal argument to choose subsequences of perturbations each of which is constructed with the Millionshikov Rotation Method. An Appendix describes the Millionshikov Rotation Method in the context of non-autonomous difference equations as a universal tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider a non-autonomous coupled system (x , y) , whose x coordinate satisfies a semilinear parabolic equation, and y coordinate satisfies a differential equation whose solutions do not converge too rapidly. Our aim is to study the persistence of dynamical behavior for such coupled system under a small random perturbation driven by stationary multipilcative noise. We show that for the perturbed system there exists a C 1 invariant manifold S (t , ω) = { (x , y) ∈ X × Y | x = σ (t , y , ω) } under the condition that the linear part of x equation satisfies the exponential dichotomy. Meanwhile, we observe that typically if the linear part of x equation is uniformly attracting or uniformly expanding, then the corresponding invariant manifold shares the same qualitative properties. In the end, as the perturbation tends to 0, we show that the invariant manifold and its derivative in y are approaching to those of the original system, suggesting that such structure is persistent under the small random perturbation.

This paper studies two nonlocal diffusion problems with a free boundary and a fixed boundary in heterogeneous environment. The main goal is to understand how the evolution of the two species is affected by the heterogeneous environment. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of a global solution for such systems. Then, for models with Lotka–Volterra type competition or predator–prey growth terms, we establish the spreading‐vanishing dichotomy. Sharp criteria of spreading and vanishing are also obtained. Furthermore, we show that accelerated spreading occurs if and only if the kernel function violates the threshold condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider conservation laws with nonlocal velocity and show, for nonlocal weights of exponential type, that the unique solutions converge in a weak or strong sense (dependent on the regularity of the velocity) to the entropy solution of the local conservation law when the nonlocal weight approaches a Dirac distribution. To this end, we first establish a uniform total variation bound on the nonlocal velocity, which can be used to pass to the limit in the weak solution. For the required entropy admissibility, we use a tailored entropy-flux pair and take advantage of a well-known result that a single strictly convex entropy-flux pair is sufficient for uniqueness, given some additional constraints on the velocity. For general weights, we show that the monotonicity of the initial datum is preserved over time, which enables us to prove convergence to the local entropy solution for rather general kernels if the initial datum is monotone. This case covers the archetypes of local conservation laws: shock waves and rarefactions. These results suggest that a "nonlocal in the velocity" approximation might be better suited to approximating local conservation laws than a nonlocal in the solution approximation, in which such monotonicity only holds for specific velocities.

Based on the estimation of the Cauchy matrix of linear impulsive differential equation, by using Banach fixed point theorem and exponential dichotomy, sufficient conditions for the existence of almost periodic solutions in shifts δ± of some nonlinear dynamic equations with impulses on time scales are established. Finally, two impulsive ecosystems defined on some specific time scales are studied to illustrate the effectiveness of the main results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes system describing the electrodiffusion of ions in a viscous Newtonian fluid. We prove the exponential nonlinear stability of constant steady states in the case of periodic boundary conditions in any dimension of space without constraints on the number of species, valences and diffusivities. We consider also the case of two spatial dimensions, and we prove the exponential stability from arbitrary large data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider linear differential equations of the first order with delayed arguments in a Banach space. We establish conditions for the operator coefficients necessary for the existence of exponential dichotomy on the real axis. It is proved that the analyzed differential equation is equivalent to a difference equation in a certain space. It is shown that, under the conditions of existence and uniqueness of a solution bounded on the entire real axis, the condition of exponential dichotomy is also satisfied for any known bounded function. We also deduce the explicit formula for projectors, which form this dichotomy in the case of a single delay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We introduce a novel option pricing model that features stochastic interest rates along with an underlying price process driven by stochastic string shocks combined with pure jump Lévy processes. Substituting the Brownian motion in the Black–Scholes model with a stochastic string leads to a class of option pricing models with expiration-dependent volatility. Further extending this Generalized Black–Scholes (GBS) model by adding Lévy jumps to the returns generating processes results in a new framework generalizing all exponential Lévy models. We derive four distinct versions of the model, with each case featuring a different jump process: the finite activity lognormal and double–exponential jump diffusions, as well as the infinite activity CGMY process and generalized hyperbolic Lévy motion. In each case, we obtain closed or semi-closed form expressions for European call option prices which generalize the results obtained for the original models. Empirically, we evaluate the performance of our model against the skews of S&P 500 call options, considering three distinct volatility regimes. Our findings indicate that: (a) model performance is enhanced with the inclusion of jumps; (b) the GBS plus jumps model outperform the alternative models with the same jumps; (c) the GBS-CGMY jump model offers the best fit across volatility regimes.

In this paper, we consider a reaction-diffusion system with mechanical deformation of medium. This system consists of an excitable system bidirectionally coupled with an elasticity equation. The main content consists of two parts. First, for γ > 0 sufficiently small, simple pulse of homoclinic type exists. We prove that the traveling pulse is linearly stable. Specifically, there is at most one nontrivial eigenvalue near the origin and it is negative. Second, for γ > 0 large, we show existence of double twisted front-back wave loop, indicating bifurcations of various complicated traveling waves, including N -front, N -back and wave train. Then we prove that N -fronts are linearly stable. Our arguments are mainly based on geometric singular perturbation theory, exponential dichotomy, heteroclinic bifurcation and the Melnikov method.

For linear nonautonomous differential equations we introduce a new family of spectrums defined with general nonuniform dichotomies: for a given growth rate μ in a large family of growth rates, we consider a notion of spectrum, named nonuniform μ -dichotomy spectrum. This family of spectrums contain the nonuniform dichotomy spectrum as the very particular case of exponential growth rates. For each growth rate μ , we describe all possible forms of the nonuniform μ -dichotomy spectrum, relate its connected components with adapted notions of Lyapunov exponents, and use it to obtain a reducibility result for nonautonomous linear differential equations. We also give illustrative examples where the spectrum is obtained, including a situation where a normal form is obtained for polynomial behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an approach for designing angular and linear velocity observers for rigid bodies using two inertial vectors and one landmark measurements directly. Compared with the classical velocity estimation algorithms, the proposed observer does not need to reconstruct the pose information from measurements nor be coupled with velocity sensors. The linear‐time varying dynamics of the estimation error equation are analyzed, rigorously showing the uniform local exponential stability of the observer. Simulations are conducted to illustrate the significant performance of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we first introduce the concept of double measure r$$ r $$‐mean piecewise pseudo almost periodic for stochastic processes for r≥2$$ r\ge 2 $$. Next, we make extensive use of the exponential dichotomy techniques and a fixed point strategy with stochastic analysis theory to obtain the existence of doubly measure r$$ r $$‐mean piecewise pseudo almost periodic mild solutions for a class of impulsive non‐autonomous partial stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces. In addition, we study the exponential stability of r$$ r $$‐mean piecewise pseudo almost periodic mild solutions. Finally, we give an example to confirm the reliability and feasibility of our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Control of complex turbulent dynamical systems involving strong nonlinearity and high degrees of internal instability is an important topic in practice. Different from traditional methods for controlling individual trajectories, controlling the statistical features of a turbulent system offers a more robust and efficient approach. Crude first-order linear response approximations were typically employed in previous works for statistical control with small initial perturbations. This paper aims to develop two new statistical control strategies for scenarios with more significant initial perturbations and stronger nonlinear responses, allowing the statistical control framework to be applied to a much wider range of problems. First, higher-order methods, incorporating the second-order terms, are developed to resolve the full control-forcing relation. The corresponding changes to recovering the forcing perturbation effectively improve the performance of the statistical control strategy. Second, a mean closure model for the mean response is developed, which is based on the explicit mean dynamics given by the underlying turbulent dynamical system. The dependence of the mean dynamics on higher-order moments is closed using linear response theory but for the response of the second-order moments to the forcing perturbation rather than the mean response directly. The performance of these methods is evaluated extensively on prototype nonlinear test models, which exhibit crucial turbulent features, including non-Gaussian statistics and regime switching with large initial perturbations. The numerical results illustrate the feasibility of different approaches due to their physical and statistical structures and provide detailed guidelines for choosing the most suitable method based on the model properties.

For strictly entropic Riemann shock solutions of strictly hyperbolic systems of balance laws, we prove that exponential spectral stability implies large-time asymptotic orbital stability. As a preparation, we also prove similar results for constant solutions of initial value and initial boundary value problems, which seem to be new in this generality. Main key technical ingredients include the design of a nonlinear change of variables providing a hypocoercive Kawashima-type structure with dissipative boundary conditions in the high-frequency regime and the explicit identification of most singular parts of the linearized evolution, both being deduced from the mere spectral assumption.

It is known that a tempered exponential dichotomy (which is the version of nonuniform exponential dichotomy for random dynamical systems) can be described by admissibility of a pair of function classes defined in terms of Lyapunov norms. Moreover, for MET-systems (i.e. random dynamical systems which satisfy the assumptions of the Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem) over an ergodic base system, tempered exponential dichotomy can be described by admissibility of a pair of function spaces which are defined in terms of the original norm. In present paper, we find an admissibility description of tempered exponential dichotomies for MET-systems in terms of new output and input classes. These classes can be regarded as a critical case of admissibility classes in the known result. Finally, we use our new pair of admissible spaces to prove the roughness of tempered exponential dichotomies for parametric MET-systems and give a Hölder continuous dependence of the associated projections on the parameter.

In this paper, we aim to present the concept of S v -asymptotically T-periodic functions taking values in a Banach space and investigate some of their properties. Also, we establish conditions under which semi linear evolution equations in a Banach space have a unique global mild S v -asymptotically T-periodic solution. Then, we apply the results obtained to prove the existence and uniqueness of S v -asymptotically ω -periodic mild solutions to a nonautonomous semi linear differential equations.

Let |$G=\textrm {GL}_{2n}({\mathbb {R}})$| or |$G=\textrm {GL}_n({\mathbb {H}})$| and |$H=\textrm {GL}_n({\mathbb {C}})$| regarded as a subgroup of |$G$|⁠. Here, |${\mathbb {H}}$| is the quaternion division algebra over |${\mathbb {R}}$|⁠. For a character |$\chi $| on |${\mathbb {C}}^\times $|⁠ , we say that an irreducible smooth admissible moderate growth representation |$\pi $| of |$G$| is |$\chi _H$| -distinguished if |$\operatorname {Hom}_H(\pi , \chi \circ \det _H)\neq 0$|⁠. We compute the root number of a |$\chi _H$| -distinguished representation |$\pi $| twisted by the representation induced from |$\chi $|⁠. This proves an Archimedean analogue of the conjecture by Prasad and Takloo-Bighash (J. Reine Angew. Math. 2011). The proof is based on the analysis of the contribution of |$H$| -orbits in a flag manifold of |$G$| to the Schwartz homology of principal series representations. A large part of the argument is developed for general real reductive groups of inner type. In particular, we prove that the Schwartz homology |$H_\ast (H, \pi \otimes \chi)$| is finite-dimensional and hence it is Hausdorff for a reductive symmetric pair |$(G, H)$| and a finite-dimensional representation |$\chi $| of |$H$|⁠.

Many previous works used the admissibility of function classes to characterize nonuniform exponential dichotomy (for short, NEDs) by employing Lyapunov norms. Recently, L. Zhou and W. Zhang [J. Funct. Anal. 271 (2016), pp. 1087–1129] characterized NEDs without Lyapunov norms. They utilized two admissible pairs of function classes and an assumption on certain subspaces to describe NEDs under the prerequisite of bounded growth, which plays an essential role in their arguments. However, in this paper, we remove the condition of bounded growth when characterizing NEDs. Neither bounded growth nor Lyapunov norms are used to describe NEDs in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce a concept of pseudo S -asymptotically ω-periodic (PSAPω) solutions, we establish some new composition theorems. By using the roughness theory of exponential dichotomies and the contraction mapping, some sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of PSAPω solutions (abbreviated in EPCA) for some difference and differential equations with piecewise constant argument.

In this article, we experimentally investigate the nonlinear behaviour of a viscoplastic film flow down an inclined plane. We focus on the nonlinear instabilities that appear as roll waves. Roll waves are generated by perturbing a permanent flow of Herschel–Bulkley fluid (Carbopol 980) at low frequencies. To determine the local thickness of the film, we used a laser sensor and a camera to globally capture the transverse shape of the waves. For a regular forcing, the results show the existence of different regimes. First, we observe primary instabilities below the cut-off frequency at the entrance of the channel. After the exponential growth of the wave in the linear regime, we recognise the nonlinear dynamics with the existence of finite amplitude waves. This finite amplitude depends on the frequency, the Reynolds number and the inclination angle. The results show that this instability is supercritical. At moderate Reynolds numbers, the finite 2-D waves become sensitive to transverse perturbations, due to a secondary instability, and become 3-D waves. The experimental results illustrate a phenomenology of viscoplastic film flows similar to Newtonian fluids, except for the capillary waves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For a discrete time multitype supercritical Galton–Watson process (Z n) n ∈ N and corresponding genealogical tree T , we associate a new discrete time process (Z n Φ) n ∈ N such that, for each n ∈ N , the contribution of each individual u ∈ T to Z n Φ is determined by a (random) characteristic Φ evaluated at the age of u at time n. In other words, Z n Φ is obtained by summing over all u ∈ T the corresponding contributions Φ u , where (Φ u) u ∈ T are i.i.d. copies of Φ. Such processes are known in the literature under the name of Crump–Mode–Jagers (CMJ) processes counted with characteristic Φ. We derive a LLN and a CLT for the process (Z n Φ) n ∈ N in the discrete time setting, and in particular, we show a dichotomy in its limit behavior. By applying our main result, we also obtain a generalization of the results in Kesten and Stigum (1966). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to establish some sufficient conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness of positive (Bohr) almost periodic solutions to a class of semilinear evolution equations of the form: u′(t)=A(t)u(t)+f(t,u(t)),t∈ℝ$$ {u}^{\prime }(t)=A(t)u(t)+f\left(t,u(t)\right),t\in \mathbb{R} $$. We assume that the family of closed linear operators (A(t))t∈ℝ$$ {\left(A(t)\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{R}} $$ on a Banach lattice X$$ X $$ satisfies the "Acquistapace–Terreni" conditions, so that the associated evolution family is positive and has an exponential dichotomy on ℝ$$ \mathbb{R} $$. The nonlinear term f$$ f $$, acting on certain real interpolation spaces, is assumed to be almost periodic only in a weaker sense (i.e., in Stepanov's sense) with respect to t$$ t $$, and Lipschitzian in bounded sets with respect to the second variable. Moreover, we prove a new composition result for Stepanov almost periodic functions by assuming only continuity of f$$ f $$ with respect to the second variable (see the condition Lemma 1‐(ii)). Finally, we provide an application to a system of Lotka–Volterra predator–prey type model with diffusion and time–dependent parameters in a generalized almost periodic environment.

The limiting stability of invariant probability measures of time homogeneous transition semigroups for autonomous stochastic systems has been extensively discussed in the literature. In this paper we initially initiate a program to study the asymptotic stability of evolution systems of probability measures of time inhomogeneous transition operators for nonautonomous stochastic systems. Two general theoretical results on this topic are established in a Polish space by establishing some sufficient conditions which can be verified in applications. Our abstract results are applied to a stochastic lattice reaction-diffusion equation driven by a time-dependent nonlinear noise. A time-average argument and an extended Krylov-Bogolyubov method due to Da Prato and Röckner [ Seminar on stochastic analysis, random fields and applications V , Birkhäuser, Basel, 2008] are employed to prove the existence of evolution systems of probability measures. A mild condition on the time-dependent diffusion function is used to prove that the limit of every evolution system of probability measures must be an evolution system of probability measures of the limiting equation. The theoretical results are expected to be applied to various stochastic lattice systems/ODEs/PDEs in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study linear and semi-linear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) on the half-line ℝ + . In our strategy, we first show a characterization for the existence of exponential dichotomy for linear DAEs based on the Lyapunov-Perron method. Then, we prove the existence of invariant stable manifolds for semi-linear DAEs in the case that the evolution family corresponding to a linear DAE admits an exponential dichotomy and the non-linear forcing function fulfills the non-uniform φ-Lipschitz condition where the Lipschitz function φ belongs to wide classes of admissible function spaces such as Lp, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ , and Lp,q.

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic dynamics of a time-periodic parasitic–mutualistic model of mistletoes and birds in heterogeneous environment with the especial concerns over the spreading–vanishing scenarios, in which the Stefan class free boundary is introduced as the spreading frontier. By defining the ecological reproduction number and generalizing it as the spatial-temporal risk index, a considerably universal spreading–vanishing dichotomy and the sharp criteria are first established in birds world in the absence of mistletoes, and some estimates of the asymptotic spreading speed of the free boundary provided that spreading occurs are also obtained. Furthermore, the comprehensive considerations containing the spreading frontiers, asymptotic profiles and estimates of the asymptotic spreading speed are exhibited in mistletoes-birds world by the monotone iteration technique with the proper upper and lower solutions. The results suggest that even for the spreading case, the mistletoes population will eventually persist in long term provided that its own risk index is larger than 1, otherwise it may be eradicated.

The aim of this paper is to develop a new and complete study regarding the detection of nonuniform, uniform and exponential trichotomies of discrete dynamical systems in infinite dimensional spaces, by means of control methods of input-output type. We show for the first time that an admissibility of nonuniform nature implies the existence of a nonuniform trichotomy and we deduce the structures of the trichotomy projections. After that, we prove criteria for uniform trichotomy of discrete variational systems. Next, for p , q ∈ [ 1 , ∞ ] we introduce the notion of uniform admissibility of a (ℓ p , ℓ q) pair and we obtain complete characterizations for uniform exponential trichotomy. Throughout our study, via illustrative examples, we show that the working hypotheses are minimal and cannot be removed. All the criteria are obtained in the most general framework, in which the base space is an arbitrary set and without any additional assumption on the system coefficients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions of Liouvillian integrability for Liénard differential systems describing nonlinear oscillators with a polynomial damping and a polynomial restoring force. We prove that Liénard differential systems are not Darboux integrable excluding subfamilies with certain restrictions on the degrees of the polynomials arising in the systems. We demonstrate that if the degree of a polynomial responsible for the restoring force is greater than the degree of a polynomial producing the damping, then a generic Liénard differential system is not Liouvillian integrable with the exception of linear Liénard systems. However, for any fixed degrees of the polynomials describing the damping and the restoring force we present subfamilies possessing Liouvillian first integrals. As a by‐product of our results, we find a number of novel Liouvillian integrable subfamilies. In addition, we study the existence of nonautonomous Darboux first integrals and nonautonomous Jacobi last multipliers with a time‐dependent exponential factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To any one-sided nonautonomous dynamics obtained from a delay-difference equation, we associate a lifted autonomous delay-difference equation that can be used, together with its solutions and its perturbations, to characterize the hyperbolicity in three different ways: in terms of the hyperbolicity of the corresponding evolution map, which describes the solutions of the lifted autonomous equation; in terms of an admissibility property for this evolutions map, which corresponds to the invertibility of a certain linear operator; and in terms of an admissibility property for the perturbations of the lifted delay-difference equation. We emphasize that the evolution map is necessarily noninvertible in our setting, which led us to introduce a new notion of exponential dichotomy for this map whose existence is equivalent to the existence of an exponential dichotomy for the original nonautonomous dynamics.

We prove the existence and attraction property for admissible invariant unstable and center-unstable manifolds of admissible classes of solutions to the partial neutral functional-differential equation in a Banach space X of the form ∂ ∂ t F u t = A t F u t + f t , u t , t ≥ s , t , s ∈ R , u s = ϕ ∈ C : = C - r , 0 , X under the conditions that the family of linear partial differential operators (A(t))t∈ℝ generates the evolution family (U(t, s))t≥s with exponential dichotomy on the whole line ℝ; the difference operator F : C → X is bounded and linear, and the nonlinear delay operator f satisfies the φ-Lipschitz condition, i.e., ‖ f t , ϕ - f t , ψ ‖ ≤ φ t ‖ ϕ - ψ ‖ C for ϕ, ψ ∈ 풞, where φ(·) belongs to an admissible function space defined on ℝ. We also prove that an unstable manifold of the admissible class attracts all other solutions with exponential rates. Our main method is based on the Lyapunov – Perron equation combined with the admissibility of function spaces. We apply our results to the finite-delay heat equation for a material with memory.

We establish a dichotomy for the rate of the decay of the Cesàro averages of correlations of sufficiently regular functions for typical interval exchange transformations (IET) which are not rigid rotations (for which weak mixing had been previously established in the works of Katok–Stepin, Veech, and Avila–Forni). We show that the rate of decay is either logarithmic or polynomial, according to whether the IET is of rotation class (i.e., it can be obtained as the induced map of a rigid rotation) or not. In the latter case, we also establish that the spectral measures of Lipschitz functions have local dimension bounded away from zero (by a constant depending only on the number of intervals). In our approach, upper bounds are obtained through estimates of twisted Birkhoff sums of Lipschitz functions, while the logarithmic lower bounds are based on the slow deviation of ergodic averages that govern the relation between rigid rotations and their induced maps.

In this paper, we study the partial differential equation with piecewise constant argument of the form: xt(t,s)=A(t)x(t,s)+B(t,s)x([t],s)+C(t,s)x(t,[s])+D(t,s)x([t],[s])+f(x(t,[s])),t,s∈IR+=(0,∞),$$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{cc}\hfill {x}_t\left(t,s\right)=& \kern0.2em A(t)x\left(t,s\right)+B\left(t,s\right)x\left(\left[t\right],s\right)+C\left(t,s\right)x\left(t,\left[s\right]\right)\hfill \\ {}\hfill & +D\left(t,s\right)x\left(\left[t\right],\left[s\right]\right)+f\left(x\left(t,\left[s\right]\right)\right),t,s\in I\kern-0.2em {R}^{+}=\left(0,\infty \right),\hfill \end{array}} $$where A(t)$$ A(t) $$ is a k×k$$ k\times k $$ invertible and continuous matrix function on IR+$$ I\kern-0.2em {R}^{+} $$; B(t,s)$$ B\left(t,s\right) $$, C(t,s)$$ C\left(t,s\right) $$, and D(t,s)$$ D\left(t,s\right) $$ are k×k$$ k\times k $$ continuous and bounded matrix functions on IR+×IR+$$ I\kern-0.2em {R}^{+}\times I\kern-0.2em {R}^{+} $$; [t]$$ \left[t\right] $$ and [s]$$ \left[s\right] $$ are the integral parts of t$$ t $$ and s$$ s $$, respectively; and f:IRk→IRk$$ f:I\kern-0.2em {R}^k\to I\kern-0.2em {R}^k $$ is a continuous function. More precisely, under some conditions on the matrices A(t)$$ A(t) $$, B(t,s)$$ B\left(t,s\right) $$, C(t,s)$$ C\left(t,s\right) $$, and D(t,s)$$ D\left(t,s\right) $$ and the function f$$ f $$, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the above equation.

The paper considers a general concept of dichotomy in Banach spaces for skew-evolution cocycles. As particular cases the properties of exponential dichotomy, polynomial dichotomy and logarithmic dichotomy are obtained. Characterizations of these concepts are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For finite-dimensional linear differential systems with bounded coefficients we prove that their exponential dichotomy on R is equivalent to their Ulam-Hyers stability on R with uniqueness. We also consider abstract non-autonomous evolution equations which are exponentially bounded and exponentially dichotomic and prove that Ulam-Hyers stability with uniqueness is maintained when perturbing them with a nonlinear term having a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant.
