THE BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS IN THE VICINITY OF A BOUNDED SOLUTION TO AUTONOMOUS DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

By using the exponential dichotomy,this paper investigates the behavior of solutionsin the vicinity of a bounded solution to the autonomous differential systemdx/dt=f(x).(1)Suppose x=u(t)is a nontrivial bounded solution of system(1).By discussing theequivalent equations of system(1)dθ/dt=1+(p,θ)dp/dt=A(θ)p+(p,θ)(2)with respect to the moving orthonormal transformationx=u(θ)+s(θ)p,the author proves that if linear system corresponding to(2)admits exponential dichotomy,then the given bounded solution x=u(t)should be periodic.The author also discusses thestadility of the obtained periodic solution.Finally,this paper discusses perturbation of thebounded solution of autonomous system(1).
