Coppel--Conti sets of linear differential systems (Q1425220)

This paper is a summary of results by the authors on Coppel-Conti sets of linear systems \[ \dot{x} = A(t) x ,\quad x \in \mathbb{R}, \;t \geq 0 . \] More precisely, this system possesses an \(L^p\)-dichotomy for \(p>0\), if there exists a constant \(C_p(A)\) and a pair of complementary projections \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) such that \[ \int_0^t \| X_A(t) P_1 X_A^{-1}(\tau)\| \,d\tau + \int_{t}^\infty \| X_A(t) P_2 X_A^{-1}(\tau) \| ^p \, d\tau \leq C_P(A) , \quad t \geq 0 . \] \(L^p D\) is the set of \(L^p\)-dichotomous systems. The subsets where the projections are \(P_1=E\), \(P_2 =0\) and \(P_1=0\), \(P_2=E\), are denoted by \(L^p S\) and \(M^p S\), respectively. Typical results in the paper are (i) \(L^p S \subset L^q S\) for \(p > q > 0\). (ii) The interior of \(L^p S\) is \(L^p S\) iff \(p \geq 1\). (iii) \(M^q S \subset M^p S\) for \(q > p > 0\). (iv) The interior of \(M^p S\) is \(M^p S\) iff \(p \geq 1\).
