Linear differential systems with conditionally integrable coefficients (Q1191771)

The author considers the linear differential system (1) \(y'=(A(t)+V(t)+R(t))y\), \(t\geq t_ 0\), where \(A,V,R\) are \(n\times n\) matrices and \(A\) is diagonal. We say that \(V\) is conditionally integrable if \(\int^ \infty_ tV(s)ds\) exists for \(t\) large enough and in this case we write \(V\in L_ c(\langle t_ 0,\infty))\). The main result is given in the following theorem: Let \(A,V\) and \(R\) be continuous matrices on \(\langle t_ 0,\infty)\) such that \(A\) satisfies Levinson's dichotomy conditions, \(V\in L_ c(\langle t_ 0,\infty))\) and \(VQ,AQ,QA\) and \(R\in L_ 1(\langle t_ 0,\infty))\), where \(Q(t)=-\int^ \infty_ tV(s)ds\). Then (1) has a fundamental matrix \(Y(t)\) such that for \(t\to\infty\) \(Y(t)=(I+o(1))\exp\left(\int^ t_{t_ 0}A(s)ds\right)\) \((I\) is the \(n\times n\) identity matrix). This theorem is used to the study of the asymptotic representation of solutions for the linear differential system \(y'=(B+V(t))y\), where \(B\) is a constant \(n\times n\) matrix. The results of this paper give an \(L_ c\)-analog of results by \textit{N. Levinson} [Duke Math. J. 15, 111-126 (1948; Zbl 0040.194)], \textit{A. Ghizzetti} [Rend. Mat. Appl. (5)8, 28-42 (1949; Zbl 0039.095)] and \textit{W. A. Coppel} [Stability and Asymptotic Behavior off Differential Equations. Boston (1965; Zbl 0154.093)].
