Sign reversal of the characteristic exponents of solutions of a differential system with initial data on finitely many points and lines

Abstract

We realize a version of the Perron sign reversal effect for the characteristic exponents of a two-dimensional differential system; the exponents are negative for the linear approximation system and positive for the nontrivial solutions of the full nonlinear system with a higher-order perturbation in a neighborhood of the origin and with initial data on an arbitrary finite set of points and lines on the plane R².
