In considered situations we receive asymptotically stable system.
To overcome this difficulty, we search for an approximate solution to (3.3) which is asymptotically accurate.
In Section 2, we present the basic information about Stepanov and Weyl generalizations of asymptotically almost periodic functions and asymptotically almost automorphic functions (Proposition 4 is the only new contribution in this section).
Hence, for [R.sup.*.sub.1] < [R.sup.thr.sub.1], system (1) will present only the locally asymptotically stable low-criminality equilibrium [P.sub.l].
The zero solution of system (22) is said to be asymptotically stable if [parallel]]]x(t)[parallel]]] [right arrow] 0, as t [right arrow] [infinity].

We recall that E is locally asymptotically stable if the all eigenvalues [[xi].sub.i] of (40) satisfy the following condition [53-55]:
and we say that the response system can be globally asymptotically synchronized with the drive system if the zero solution of error system is globally asymptotically stable.
The main difference between AdS space-time and asymptotically flat space-time is the famous Hawking-Page phase transition [1]; that is, the AdS background provides a natural constraint box, which makes it possible to form a thermal equilibrium between large stable black hole and hot gas.
