Abstract: We present a number of results concerning large-time qualitative behavior of solutions for high-order hyperbolic equations and first-order hyperbolic systems. We discuss the properties of exponential stability and exponential dichotomy, construction of stable, unstable, and center manifolds, Grobman--Hartman type theorems on linearization of the phase portrait, and existence and uniqueness of time-bounded and almost periodic (AP) solutions.

Keywords:  hyperbolic equations and systems; bounded and almost periodic solutions;exponential dichotomy; stable, unstable and center manifolds; linearization.
