Proof The first two properties, (CH

) and (NC

(CH) and (NC). For the proof of (UKL

), we first need to check that

The proof of (12.3.34) is classical and was already done in Chapter 4 but
we recall it for completeness. We first observe the matrices A(u,η,τ)and
A
∗
(u,η,τ) are simultaneously hyperbolic, the latter A
∗
(u,η,τ) being conjugate
to −A(u,η,τ)
∗
: more precisely,
A
∗
(u,η,τ)=−(A
d
(u)
T
)
−1
A
∗
(u,η,τ) A
d

.
Hence the spaces E
s
(A
∗
(u,η,τ)) and (A
d
(u) E
s
(A(u,η,τ)))
⊥
are both of the
same dimension, equal to n +1 since E
s
(A(u,η,τ)) is of dimension n − 1(by
the assumption (N)). Furthermore, when A(u,η,τ) is hyperbolic, a standard
ODE argument shows E
s
(A
∗
(u,η,τ)) is a subspace of (A
d
(u) E
s
(A(u,η,τ)))
⊥
.
Indeed, take W = ψ(0) with ψ a solution of ψ
= A
∗
ψ tending to zero at +∞.
