Simultaneous attainability of central exponents of a linear Hamiltonian system under Hamiltonian perturbations

Abstract

We show that, for any linear Hamiltonian system, there exists an arbitrarily close (in the uniform metric on the half-line) linear Hamiltonian system whose upper and lower Lyapunov exponents coincide with the upper and lower upper-limit central Vinograd–Millionshchikov exponents, respectively, of the original system and whose upper and lower Perron exponents coincide with the respective lower-limit exponents of the original system.
