Asymptotic behavior of a nonautonomous evolution equation governed by a quasi-nonexpansive operator

We study the asymptotic behavior of the trajectory of a nonautonomous evolution equation governed by a quasi-nonexpansive operator in Hilbert spaces. We prove the weak convergence of the trajectory to a fixed point of the operator by relying on Lyapunov analysis. Under a metric subregularity condition, we further derive a flexible global exponential-type rate for the distance of the trajectory to the set of fixed points. The results obtained are applied to analyze the asymptotic behavior of the trajectory of an adaptive Douglas-Rachford dynamical system, which is applied for finding a zero of the sum of two operators, one of which is strongly monotone while the other one is weakly monotone.
