Hyperbolic Sequences of Linear Operators and Evolution Maps

For a nonautonomous dynamics defined by a sequence of linear operators on a Banach space, we give a characterization of its nonuniform hyperbolicity in terms of the hyperbolicity of an associated evolution map. We also obtain a generalization of this characterization to the class of nonuniformly hyperbolic cocycles over a locally compact topological space with values on the set of bounded linear operators.
