Abstract

A solution of a nonautonomous ordinary differential equation is finite-time hyperbolic, i.e. hyperbolic on a compact interval of time, if the linearisation along that solution exhibits a strong exponential dichotomy. In analogy to classical asymptotic facts, it is shown that finite-time hyperbolicity is robust, that is, it persists under small perturbations. Eigenvalues and -vectors may be misleading with regards to hyperbolicity. This is demonstrated by means of simple examples.
