Local Stable Manifold for the Bidirectional Discrete-Time Dynamics

Abstract

We show the existence of a local stable manifold for a bidirectional discrete-time nondiffeomorphic nonlinear Hamiltonian dynamics. This is the case where zero is a closed loop eigenvalue and therefore the Hamiltonian matrix is not invertible. In addition, we show the eigenstructure and the symplectic properties of the mixed direction nonlinear Hamiltonian dynamics. We extend the Local Stable Manifold Theorem for the nonlinear discrete-time Hamiltonian map with a hyperbolic fixed point. As a consequence, we show the existence of a local solution to the Dynamic Programming Equations, the equations corresponding to the discrete-time optimal control problem.
