Preface

The main theme of this book is the stability of nonautonomous differential equations, with emphasis on the study of the existence and smoothness of invariant manifolds, and the Lyapunov stability of solutions. We always consider a nonuniform exponential behavior of the linear variational equations, given by the existence of a nonuniform exponential contraction or a nonuniform exponential dichotomy. Thus, the results hold for a much larger class of systems than in the “classical” theory of exponential dichotomies. The departure point of the book is our joint work on the construction of invariant manifolds for nonuniformly hyperbolic trajectories of nonautonomous differential equations in Banach spaces. We then consider several related developments, concerning the existence and regularity of topological conjugacies, the construction of center manifolds, the study of reversible and equivariant equations, and so on. The presentation is self-contained and intends to convey the full extent of our approach as well as its unified character. The book contributes towards a rigorous mathematical foundation for the theory
