Abstract

Two flows on a finite-dimensional normed space XX are equivalent if some homeomorphism hh of XX preserves all orbits, i.e., hh maps each orbit onto an orbit. Under the assumption that hh, h1h^{-1} both are β\beta-H\"{o}lder continuous near the origin for some (or all) 0<β<10<\beta< 1, a complete classification with respect to some-H\"{o}lder (or all-H\"{o}lder) equivalence is established for linear flows on XX, in terms of basic linear algebra properties of their generators. Consistently utilizing equivalence instead of the more restrictive conjugacy, the classification theorems extend and unify known results. Though entirely elementary, the analysis is somewhat intricate and highlights, more clearly than does the existing literature, the fundamental roles played by linearity and the finite-dimensionality of XX.
