Shadowing and Topological Stability via Generalized Pseudo-Hyperbolicity in Autonomous and Nonautonomous Linear Dynamics

Abstract

Although generalized hyperbolicity has proved to be a fundamental notion in linear dynamics, recent results show that it is too restrictive to characterize the shadowing property of invertible bounded linear operators on Banach spaces. This motivates the introduction of generalized pseudo-hyperbolicity, a weaker notion formulated through continuous homogeneous maps generating exponentially decaying Green families. We prove that, for arbitrary sequences of invertible bounded linear operators on Banach spaces, generalized pseudo-hyperbolicity is equivalent to both shadowing and topological stability. In the autonomous setting, this yields the equivalence between shadowing and topological stability, removing additional assumptions from previous results. We also prove robustness of shadowing and topological stability for sequences of invertible bounded linear operators.
