Admissibility versus nonuniform exponential behavior for noninvertible cocycles

Abstract

We study the relation between the notions of exponential dichotomy and admissibility for a nonautonomous dynamics with discrete time. More precisely, we consider $\mathbb{Z}$-cocycles defined by a sequence of linear operators in a Banach space, and we give criteria for the existence of an exponential dichotomy in terms of the admissibility of the pairs $(\ell^p,\ell^q)$ of spaces of sequences, with $p\le q$ and $(p,q)\ne(1,\infty)$. We extend the existing results in several directions. Namely, we consider the general case of nonuniform exponential dichotomies; we consider $\mathbb{Z}$-cocycles and not only $\mathbb{N}$-cocycles; and we consider exponential dichotomies that need not be invertible in the stable direction. We also exhibit a collection of admissible pairs of spaces of sequences for any nonuniform exponential dichotomy.
