Linearization via the Lie Derivativeby Carmen Chicone, Richard Swanson - American Mathematical Society
The proof of the Grobman-Hartman linearization theorem for a flow at a hyperbolic rest point proceeds by establishing the analogous result for hyperbolic fixed points of local diffeomorphisms. We present a proof that avoids the discrete case.
