Abstract

We construct conjugacies between linear and nonlinear non-uniform exponential contractions with discrete time. We also consider the general case of a non-autonomous dynamics defined by a sequence of maps. The results are obtained by considering both linear and nonlinear perturbations of the dynamics xm+1=Amxm defined by a sequence of linear operators Am. In the case of conjugacies between linear contractions we describe them explicitly. All the conjugacies are locally Hölder, and in fact are locally Lipschitz outside the origin. We also construct conjugacies between linear and nonlinear non-uniform exponential dichotomies, building on the arguments for contractions. All the results are obtained in Banach spaces.
