Conditions for uniform $h$--dichotomy in terms of uniform non criticality, expansiveness and via generalized Floquet theory

Abstract

In this article, we complete the study of the equivalences between the properties of $h$--dichotomy, $h$--noncriticality and $h$--expansiveness of a linear nonautonomous ODE system which had been initiated in a previous work. Moreover, we extend a result of the generalized Floquet theory developed by T.A. Burton and J.S. Muldowney by providing a necessary and sufficient condition for $h$--dichotomy. It should be noted that all the results have been obtained by using a characterization of the $h$--dichotomy by a group theory approach recently developed by J.F. Peña and S. Rivera--Villagrán.
