TL;DR
This work develops a non-autonomous invariant and inertial manifold theory for parabolic-type problems using a fiberwise Lyapunov–Perron approach. By leveraging an exponential splitting of the linear evolution and a generalized gap condition expressed via an admissible norm, it constructs a time-dependent Lipschitz manifold $ig\mathcal{M}(t)ig$ as the graph of a function $ ext{Σ}(t,ullet)$, with controlled growth and an explicit decay rate $oldsymbol{ ext{ω}} \
Abstract
We use the version of the Lyapunov--Perron method operating on individual solutions to investigate the existence of invariant manifolds for non-autonomous dynamical systems, focusing in particular on inertial and stable manifolds. We establish a characterization of both types of manifolds in terms of solutions exhibiting a common growth behavior, analogous to the classical characterization involving hyperbolicity. Furthermore, we introduce a unified formulation of the gap condition, from which known sharp versions are derived. Finally, we show that the constructed inertial manifolds have $C^1$ regularity.
