Abstract

This paper develops a new approach to the estimation of the degree of boundedness or stability of multidimensional nonlinear systems with time-dependent nonperiodic coefficients-an essential task in various engineering and natural science applications. Known approaches to assessing the stability of such systems rest on the utility of Lyapunov functions and Lyapunov first approximation methodologies, typically providing conservative and computationally elaborate criteria for multidimensional systems of this category. Adequate criteria of boundedness of solutions to nonhomogeneous systems of this kind are rare in the contemporary literature. Lately, we develop a new approach to these problems which rests on bounding the evolution of the norms of solutions to initial systems by matching solutions of a scalar auxiliary equation we introduced in [1], [2] and [3]. Still, the technique advanced in [3] rests on the assumption that the average of the linear components of the underlying system is defined by a stable matrix of general position. The current paper substantially amplifies the application domain of this approach. It is merely assumed that the time-dependent linear block of the underlying system can be split into slow and fast varying components by application of any smoothing technique. This dichotomy of temporal scales is determined by the optimal criterion reducing the conservatism of our estimates. In turn, we transform the linear subsystem with slow-varying matrix in a diagonally dominant form by successive applications of the Lyapunov transforms. This prompts the development of novel scalar auxiliary equations embracing the estimation of the norms of solutions to our initial systems. Next, we formulate boundedness or stability criteria and estimate the relevant regions of the underlying systems using analytical and abridged numerical reasoning.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
