Reduction theorems for stability of systems in general spaces

From MaRDI portal





The author discusses general reduction theorems which, to study the stability problem for a nonlinear system on a metric space \(X\) endowed with an invariant subspace \(Y\), use the stability of the subsystems itself without insisting on its being reflected in the spectrum of the linear part. This general reduction problem was essentially solved for the case of dynamical systems in a locally compact metric space by the author. Further these results were extended to semidynamical systems in arbitrary metric spaces (not assuming local compactness). The author proves new reduction theorems dropping the assumption of compactness of the invariant subset \(M\) of \(Y\). He introduces a concept of attraction of a family of sets \(U\) to another family of sets \(V\), a standard case being the one where \(U\) and \(V\) are the collections of all bounded subsets of \(X\) and \(Y\), respectively. The principal result states that if a collection \(U\) is attracted to a collection \(V\) of subsets of \(Y,V\) is attracted to \(M\), and \(Y\) is (in a certain sense) locally stable at \(M\), then \(M\) is asymptotically stable with respect to the collection \(U\). Some applications of this theorem are discussed.
