Nonuniform $μ$-dichotomy spectrum and kinematic similarity (2205.07391v2)

Abstract: For linear nonautonomous differential equations we introduce a new family of spectrums defined with general nonuniform dichotomies: for a given growth rate $\mu$ in a large family of growth rates, we consider a notion of spectrum, named nonuniform $\mu$-dichotomy spectrum. This family of spectrums contain the nonuniform dichotomy spectrum as the very particular case of exponential growth rates. For each growth rate $\mu$, we describe all possible forms of the nonuniform $\mu$-dichotomy spectrum, relate its connected components with adapted notions of Lyapunov exponents, and use it to obtain a reducibility result for nonautonomous linear differential equations. We also give an illustrative examples where the spectrum is obtained, including a situation where a normal form is obtained for polynomial behavior.
