Remark 14.3 Under the conditions of Theorem 14.10, dissipativity does not re-
duce to convergence.
We will give an example which confirms this statement.
Example 14.1 Let k ∈ (
1
2
, 1). Consider a scalar equation
u
n+1
= ku
n
+ αF (u
n
) , (14.31)
where
F (x) :=
(
x
2
2
for |x| ≤ 10
50 + 10[1 − exp(10 −|x|)] for |x| > 10
for k < 1 < k + 5α. We can take r
0
:=
2(1−k)
α
, then it is easy to check that for
equation (14.31) all the conditions of Theorem 14.10 are fulfilled for chosen α, k,
and F . In addition, its Levinson’s center (compact global attractor) contains at
least two fixed points (in fact, there are 3 of them) and, consequently, equation
(14.31) is not convergent.
14.5 Almost periodic and recurrent solutions
Let (X, Z
+
, π) be a dynamical system, x ∈ X, m ∈ Z
+
, m > 0, ε > 0.
Denote M
x
= {{t
n
} | {xt
n
} is convergent}.
Theorem 14.11 (
[

,
[
302
]
) Let (X, Z
+
, π) and (Y, Z
+
, σ) be two dynamical
systems. Assume that h : X → Y is a homomorphism of (X, Z
+
, π) onto (Y, Z
+
, σ).
If a point x ∈ X is stationary (m-periodic, almost periodic, recurrent), then the point
y := h(x) is also stationary (m-periodic, almost periodic, recurrent) and M

⊂ M
y
.
Definition 14.12 A solution ϕ(n, u, ω) of equation (14.20) is said to be sta-
tionary (m-periodic, almost periodic, recurrent), if the point x := (u, ω) ∈ X :=
E × Ω is a stationary (m-periodic, almost periodic, recurrent) point of the skew-
product dynamical system (X, Z
+
, π), where π := (ϕ, σ), i.e. π(n, (u, ω)) :=
(ϕ(n, u, ω), σ(n, ω)) for all n ∈ Z
+
and (u, ω) ∈ E × Ω.
Lemma 14.3 Suppose that u ∈ C(Ω, E) satisfies the condition
u(σ(n, ω)) = ϕ(n, u(ω), ω) (14.32)
for all n ∈ Z
+
and ω ∈ Ω. Then the map h : Ω → X, defined by
h(ω) := (u(ω), ω) (14.33)
for all ω ∈ Ω, is a homomorphism of (Ω, Z
+
, σ) onto (X, Z
+
, π).
