Controlling limits of Boltzmann-type ODE's (Q4378481)

Let \(C\) be the set \{\(x\in\mathbb{R}^n\): \(x_i\geq 0\) for each \(x_i\) and \(\sum x_i= 1\)\}, \(f\) is a quadratic operator such that \(f(C)\subset C\). Further, define the logarithmic norm \(\mu(T)\) for a Lipschitz operator \(T\) on a Banach space as \[ \mu(T)= \lim_{x\to 0^+} \text{Lip}(I+ ht)/h, \] where \(I\) is the identity mapping and \(\text{Lip}(T)\) is the smallest constant \(k\) such that \(\| Tx- Ty\|\leq k\| x-y\|\) for all \(x\), \(y\) in the domain of \(T\). The author proves that for solutions \(x(t)\) to the perturbed equation \(L(x): x'(t)+ x(t)= f(x(t))+ Ax(t)\), \(x(0)= C\) of the equation \(L(x)= f(x,t)\), \(x(0)= C\), the following holds: Given an operator \(f\) satisfying \(\mu(f)\leq 1\) and given a selected point \(y\in C\), the matrix \(A\) can be chosen in such a way that \(x(t)\) remains in \(C\) for \(t\geq 0\) and satisfies \(x(t)\to z\), as \(t\to\infty\), for every initial point in \(C\).
