Covering relations and non-autonomous perturbations of ODEs
Covering relations are a topological tool for detecting periodic
orbits, symbolic dynamics and chaotic behavior for autonomous ODE.
We extend the method of the covering relations onto systems with
a time dependent perturbation. As an example we apply the method
to non-autonomous perturbations of the Rössler equations to
show that for small perturbation they possess symbolic dynamics.
