Borg’s criterion for almost periodic differential equations

Borg’s criterion is used to prove the existence of an exponentially asymptotically stable periodic orbit of an autonomous differential equation and to determine its domain of attraction. In this article, this method is generalized to almost periodic differential equations. Both sufficient and necessary conditions are obtained for the existence of an exponentially stable almost periodic solution. The condition uses a Riemannian metric, and an example for the explicit construction of such a metric is presented.
