    Abstract

    Motivated by non-equilibrium phenomena in nature, we study dynamical systems
    whose time-evolution is determined by non-stationary compositions of chaotic
    maps. The constituent maps are topologically transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms
    on a 2-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold, which are allowed to change
    with time - slowly, but in a rather arbitrary fashion. In particular, such
    systems admit no invariant measure. By constructing a coupling, we prove that
    any two sufficiently regular distributions of the initial state converge
    exponentially with time.
