Persistence of normally expanded submanifolds with boundary or corners

Abstract

We show that invariant submanifolds with boundary, and more generally with corners which are normally expanded by an endomorphism are persistent as $a$-regular stratifications. This result will be shown in class $C^s$, for $s\ge 1$. We present also a simple example of a submanifold with boundary which is normally expanded but non-persistent as a differentiable submanifold.
