Translation Invariant Spaces and Asymptotic Properties of Variational Equations by Adina Luminiţa Sasu, Bogdan Sasu

“…We present a new perspective concerning the study of the asymptotic behavior of variational equations by employing function spaces techniques. We give a complete description of the dichotomous behaviors of the most general case of skew-product flows, without any assumption concerning the flow, the cocycle or the splitting of the state space, our study being based only on the solvability of some associated control systems between certain function spaces. …”
