Linearization of a nonautonomous unbounded system with hyperbolic linear part: A spectral approach

Abstract

Palmer's linearization theorem states that a hyperbolic linear system is topologically conjugated to its bounded perturbation. Recently, Huerta (DCDS 2020 [8]), Castañeda and Robledo (DCDS 2018 [3]) and Lin (NA 2007 [13]) generalized Palmer's theorem to the linearization with unbounded perturbation (continuous or discrete) by assuming that the linear part of the system is contractive or nonuniformly contractive. However, these previous works sacrifice the hyperbolicity of the linear part. Is it possible to study the linearization with unbounded perturbations in the hyperbolic case? In this paper, we improve the previous works [3,8,13] to the hyperbolic unbounded systems. For the contraction, each trajectory crosses its respective unit sphere exactly once. However, for the hyperbolic system, either the trajectory does not cross the unit sphere, or the trajectory cross it twice. Thus, the standard method used in the previous works for the contractive case is not valid for the hyperbolic case yet. We develop a method to overcome the difficulty based on two 'cylinders'. Furthermore, quantitative results for the parameters are provided.
