Dichotomies for triangular systems on Hilbert spaces

In this article, we study the relationship between the exponential dichotomy properties of a triangular system of linear difference equations and its associated diagonal system on Hilbert spaces. We stress that all previous results in this direction were restricted to the finite-dimensional case. As in the previous work of the first two authors, we rely on the relationship between exponential dichotomies and the so-called admissibility properties. However, this approach requires nontrivial changes when passing from the finite-dimensional to the infinite-dimensional setting.

Linearization and H\" older Continuity for Nonautonomous Systems

We consider a nonautonomous system \[ \dot x=A(t)x+f(t,x,y),\quad \dot y = g(t,y)\] and give conditions under which there is a transformation of the form $H(t,x,y)=(x+h(t,x,y),y)$ taking its solutions onto the solutions of the partially linearized system \[ \dot x=A(t)x,\quad \dot y = g(t,y).\] Shi and Xiong \cite{SX} proved a special case where $g(t,y)$ was a linear function of $y$ and $\dot x=A(t)x$ had an exponential dichotomy. Our assumptions on $A$ and $f$ are of the general form considered by Reinfelds and Steinberga \cite{RS}, which include many of the generalizations of Palmer's theorem proved by other authors. Inspired by the work of Shi and Xiong, we also prove H\" older continuity of $H$ and its inverse in $x$ and $y$. Again the proofs are given in the context of Reinfelds and Steinberga but we show what the results reduce to when $\dot x=A(t)x$ is assumed to have an exponential dichotomy. The paper is concluded with the discrete version of the results.

The Bohl spectrum for nonautonomous differential equations

We develop the Bohl spectrum for nonautonomous linear differential equation on a half line, which is a spectral concept that lies between the Lyapunov and the Sacker--Sell spectrum. We prove that the Bohl spectrum is given by the union of finitely many intervals, and we show by means of an explicit example that the Bohl spectrum does not coincide with the Sacker--Sell spectrum in general. We demonstrate for this example that any higher-order nonlinear perturbation is exponentially stable, although this not evident from the Sacker--Sell spectrum. We also analyze in detail situations in which the Bohl spectrum is identical to the Sacker-Sell spectrum.
