Dedicated to Tomás Caraballo for his 60th birthday.Abstract. One goal of this paper is to study robustness of stability of nonautonomous linear ordinary differential equations under integrally small perturbations in an infinite dimensional Banach space. Some applications are obtained to the case of rapid oscillatory perturbations, with arbitrary small periods, showing that even in this case the stability is robust. These results extend to infinite dimensions some results given in Coppel [3]. Based in Rodrigues [11] and in Kloeden & Rodrigues [10] we introduce a class of functions that we call Generalized Almost Periodic Functions that extend the usual almost periodic functions and are suitable to deal with oscillatory perturbations. We also present an infinite dimensional example of the previous results. We show in another example that it is possible to stabilize an unstable system using a perturbation with large period and small mean value.Finally, we give an example where we stabilize an unstable linear ODE with small perturbation in infinite dimensions using some ideas developed in Rodrigues & Solà-Morales [21] and in an example of Kakutani, see [13].MSC: 37C75; 47A10, 43D20, 35B35.
