Typical properties of the Lyapunov exponents of equations of arbitrary order (Q1059765)

Let B be a complete metric space and L be the set of continuous bounded operators from B in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\). The author studies the nth order linear differential equation \((1)\quad y^{(n)}+a_ 1(f^ tx)y^{(n- 1)}+...+a_ n(f^ tx)y=0\) where \(x\in B\), \(f^ t\) is a dynamical system on B and \(a_ 1,...,a_ n\) are the components of an operator from L. Also \(\lambda_ 1,...,\lambda_ n\) are Lyapunov exponents for (1), in decreasing order. He shows that in the space \(L\times B\) there is a dense \(G_{\delta}\) set such that, if the equation (1) is built with elements of this set, then every two-solutions y and z with Lyapunov exponents less than \(\lambda_{k+1}\) and respectively \(\lambda_{n-k+1}\), satisfy \(| y(t)| \cdot | y(s)|^{-1}\geq \alpha | z(t)| \cdot | z(s)|^{-1}\exp \beta (t-s).\) The result and the method of proof are closely related with those from a quoted paper of Millionshchikov.
