Estimates for principal Lyapunov exponents: A survey

This is a survey of known results on estimating the principal Lyapunov exponent of a time-dependent linear differential equation possessing some monotonicity properties. Equations considered are mainly strongly cooperative systems of ordinary differential equations and parabolic partial differential equations of second order. The estimates are given either in terms of the principal (dominant) eigenvalue of some derived time-independent equation or in terms of the parameters of the equation itself. Extensions to other differential equations are considered. Possible directions of further research are hinted.

Principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet spaces of positive random dynamical systems. II. Finite-dimensional systems

This is the second part in a series of papers concerned with principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet subspaces of positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. The current part focuses on applications of general theory, developed in the authors' paper "Principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet spaces of positive random dynamical systems. I. General theory," Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., in press, to positive random dynamical systems on finite-dimensional ordered Banach spaces. It is shown under some quite general assumptions that measurable linear skew-product semidynamical systems generated by measurable families of positive matrices and by strongly cooperative or type-K strongly monotone systems of linear ordinary differential equations admit measurable families of generalized principal Floquet subspaces, generalized principal Lyapunov exponents, and generalized exponential separations.

Principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet spaces of positive random dynamical systems. I. General theory

This is the first of a series of papers concerned with principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet subspaces of positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. It focuses on the development of general theory. First, the notions of generalized principal Floquet subspaces, generalized principal Lyapunov exponents, and generalized exponential separations for general positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces are introduced, which extend the classical notions of principal Floquet subspaces, principal Lyapunov exponents, and exponential separations for strongly positive deterministic systems in strongly ordered Banach to general positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. Under some quite general assumptions, it is then shown that a positive random dynamical system in an ordered Banach space admits a family of generalized principal Floquet subspaces, a generalized principal Lyapunov exponent, and a generalized exponential separation. We will consider in the forthcoming parts applications of the general theory developed in this part to positive random dynamical systems arising from a variety of random mappings and differential equations, including random Leslie matrix models, random cooperative systems of ordinary differential equations, and random parabolic equations.

Cooperative irreducible systems of ordinary differential equations with first integral

This note considers cooperative irreducible systems of ordinary differential equations admitting a $C^{1}$ first integral with positive gradient. We prove that all forward or backward nonwandering points are equilibria. We obtain also some results on the global phase portrait of such systems. The main tool of proof is a canonically defined Finsler structure with respect to which the derivative skew-product dynamical system is contractive.
