Smooth Linearization of Nonautonomous Coupled Systems

Abstract

In a joint work with Palmer we have formulated sufficient conditions under which there exist continuous and invertible transformations of the form $H_n(x,y)$ taking solutions of a coupled system \begin{equation*} x_{n+1} =A_nx_n+f_n(x_n, y_n), \quad y_{n+1}=g_n( y_n), \end{equation*} onto the solutions of the associated partially linearized uncoupled system \begin{equation*} x_{n+1} =A_nx_n, \quad y_{n+1}=g_n( y_n). \end{equation*} In the present work we go one step further and provide conditions under which $H_n$ and $H_n^{-1}$ are smooth in one of the variables $x$ and $y$. We emphasise that our conditions are of a general form and do not involve any kind of dichotomy, nonresonance or spectral gap assumptions for the linear part which are present on most of the related works.
