Numerical determination of the basin of attraction for asymptotically autonomous dynamical systems

We develop a method to numerically analyse asymptotically autonomous systems of the form ẋ=f(t,x), where f(t,x)f(t,x) tends to g(x)g(x) as t→∞t→∞. The rate of convergence is not limited to exponential, but may be polynomial, logarithmic or any other rate. For these systems, we propose a transformation of the infinite time interval to a finite, compact one, which reflects the rate of convergence of ff to gg. In the transformed system, the origin is an asymptotically stable equilibrium, which is exponentially stable in xx-direction. We consider a Lyapunov function in this transformed system as a solution of a suitable linear first-order partial differential equation and approximate it using Radial Basis Functions.
