On the Almost Everywhere Stability of Discrete-Time Dynamical Systems

Abstract

For a dynamical system, it is known that the existence of a Lyapunov-type density function, called Lyapunov density or Rantzer's density function, implies convergence of Lebesgue almost all solutions to an equilibrium. Using the duality between Frobenius-Perron and Koopmann operators, we generalize this result from equilibrium to invariant sets, both for continuous- and discrete-time. Furthermore, some redundant assumptions that exist in the literature of almost everywhere stability for discrete-time, such as the local stability of the attractor and the compactness of the state space, has been removed.
