Spectrum invariance dilemma for nonuniformly kinematically similar systems

Abstract

We unveil instances where nonautonomous linear systems manifest distinct nonuniform $\mu$-dichotomy spectra despite admitting nonuniform $(\mu ,\epsilon )$-kinematic similarity. Exploring the theoretical foundations of this lack of invariance, we discern the pivotal influence of the parameters involved in the property of nonuniform $\mu$-dichotomy such as in the notion of nonuniform $(\mu ,\epsilon )$-kinematic similarity. To effectively comprehend these dynamics, we introduce the stable and unstable optimal ratio maps, along with the $\epsilon$-neighborhood of the nonuniform $\mu$-dichotomy spectrum. These concepts provide a framework for understanding scenarios governed by the noninvariance of the nonuniform $\mu$-dichotomy spectrum.
