Lipschitz perturbations of expansive systems (Q484409)

In the study of dynamical systems with discrete time we can distinguish two important categories: the smooth as for example \(C^1\) diffeomorphisms of smooth manifolds and the topological as homeomorphisms of metric spaces. In this paper, the author considers Lipschitz homeomorphisms, an intermediate one. Since hyperbolicity is a key property of smooth systems, the author also considers Fathi's hyperbolic metric, defined for an arbitrary expansive homeomorphism of a compact metric space, to study its Lipschitz perturbations. The author extends known results from smooth dynamical systems to the category of Lipschitz homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces, and consider dynamical properties as robust expansiveness and structural stability allowing Lipschitz perturbations with respect to a hyperbolic metric. Also, the author studies the relationship between Lipschitz topologies and the \(C^1\) topology on smooth manifolds.
