Methods for studying the stability of linear periodic systems depending on a small parameter (Q2231179)

In this paper, the following linear system \[ \frac{dx}{dt}=[A_0+S(t,\varepsilon)]x, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N \] is considered. Here, \(A_0\) is a constant square matrix with real entries and \(S(t,\varepsilon)\) is a \(T\)-periodic in \(t\) matrix with real entries satisfying the condition \(S(t,0)\equiv 0\). The authors propose new approaches to approximate constructing the fundamental matrix and new formulas for approximate calculating its multipliers. Also, they discuss several applications.
