Nonuniform nonautonomous Markus–Yamabe conjecture

Consider the nonautonomous nonlinear system

x˙=f(t,x),\dot{x}=f(t,x),

where f ⁣:R0+×RnRnf\colon\mathbb{R}_{0}^{+}\times\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{n}. Assume that ff satisfies the following conditions: it is continuous on R0+×Rn\mathbb{R}_{0}^{+}\times\mathbb{R}^{n} and C1C^1 with respect to xx, its forward solutions are defined on [t0,+)[t_0,+\infty) for every t00t_0\geq 0, f(t,x)=0f(t,x)=0 whenever x=0x=0, and, for every piecewise continuous function tω(t)t\mapsto\omega(t), the linear system

ϑ˙=Jf(t,ω(t))ϑ\dot{\vartheta}=Jf(t,\omega(t))\vartheta

where Jf(t,)Jf(t,\cdot) is the Jacobian matrix of f(t,)f(t,\cdot), has a (Keεs,γ)(Ke^{\varepsilon s},\gamma)-nonuniform exponential dichotomy spectrum satisfying

Σ+(Jf(t,ω(t)))(,0).\Sigma^{+}(Jf(t,\omega(t)))\subset(-\infty,0).

Nonuniform nonautonomous Markus–Yamabe conjecture. Under these conditions, the trivial solution of the nonlinear system is globally nonuniformly asymptotically stable.

This is a nonautonomous, nonuniform analogue of the Markus–Yamabe global stability problem, replacing pointwise Jacobian conditions by negativity of the relevant nonuniform exponential dichotomy spectrum. The supplied text states the implication as a conjecture, while the material provided gives no resolution status.
