The structure of the bounded trajectories set of a scalar convex differential equation

Abstract

The present paper describes the topological and ergodic structure of the set of bounded trajectories of the flow defined by a scalar convex differential equation. We characterize the minimal subsets, the ergodic measures concentrated on them, and study the longtime behaviour of the bounded trajectories in terms of the Lyapunov exponents of the linearized equations. In particular, we obtain conditions that guarantee the existence of almost-periodic, almost-automorphic and recurrent solutions.
