Asymptotic integration of two-dimensional systems of differential equations (Q2740286)

The authors deal with a 2-dimensional system of the form \(\varepsilon \dot x=A(t)x\) where \(\varepsilon \) is a small parameter and the elements of the matrix \(A(t)=\{a_{ij}(t)\}_{i,j=1}^{2}\) are infinitely differentiable functions on \([0,L]\). The case is studied where the matrix \(A(t)\) has an eigenvalue \(\lambda_0(t)\) with elementary divisor of multiplicity two and thus the Jordan normal form of \(A(t)\) consists of single 2-dimensional Jordan cell \(J_2(t)\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINELet \(V(t)\) be such a matrix that \(V^{-1}(t)A(t)V(t)=J_3(t)\). Then the change of variables \(x=V(t)y\) transforms the system under consideration into the following one: \(\varepsilon \dot y=D(t,\varepsilon)y\equiv(J_2(t)+\varepsilon V^{-1}(t)V(t))y\). The authors construct a formal solution to this system in the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINEy(t,\varepsilon)=U(t,\varepsilon,\varepsilon)\exp\left({1\over \varepsilon }\int_{0}^{t}\lambda(\tau,\varepsilon,\varepsilon) d\tau \right)NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with NEWLINE\[NEWLINEU(t,\varepsilon,\varepsilon)=\sum_{s=0}^{\infty}\varepsilon^{s/2}U_s(t,\varepsilon),\quad \lambda(t,\varepsilon,\varepsilon)=\rho_1(t,\varepsilon)+\sum_{s=1}^{\infty}\varepsilon^{(2s+1)/2}\lambda_s(t,\varepsilon),NEWLINE\]NEWLINE \(\rho_1(t,\varepsilon)=\lambda_0(t)+O(\varepsilon^{1/2})\) is an eigenvalue of \(D(t,\varepsilon)\), and \(U_s(t,\varepsilon), \lambda_s(t,\varepsilon)\) are analytical in \(\varepsilon \). An asymptotic property of such a solution is established under assumption that \(\text{Re} \rho_1(t,\varepsilon)\leq 0\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINESee also the paper of \textit{S. V.
