Review text

In the first section, the authors study the linear system of differential equation: \[ y'= \bigl[A+V(t) +\overline R(t)\bigr] y; \quad A(t)= A+V(t) +R(t) \] where \(A\) is an \(n\times n\) constant matrix, \(V\) and \(R\) are \(n\times n\) continuous matrices on \(I_0= [t_0,\infty)\). The asymptotic integral formula for the system of differential equations for which the real parts of some eigenvalue of \(A(t)\) have the same limit as \(t\) goes to \(+\infty\), has applications in physics and different branches of mathematics. Here are presented the fundamental results due to \textit{A. Devinatz} and \textit{J. L. Kaplan} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 22, 355-366 (1972; Zbl 0267.34044)] and Devinatz and Kimura (1970). In the following is considered the linear system \[ y'=\bigl[\Lambda(t) +R(t)\bigr]y \] where \(\Lambda(t)= \text{diag} \{\lambda_1(t), \lambda_2(t), \dots, \lambda_n(t)\}\) is a diagonal matrix, and the entries of the matrix \(R(t)\) are small in a certain sense for large \(t\), but \(|R(t) |\) does not need to be in \(L^1(I_0)\). The theorem \(HX\) proved by the authors in 1994 is generalised in the sense that \(D_{jk}\) can be of order \(o(t^{-1})\) for some or all \(j\neq k\) where \[ D_{jk}= {\mathcal R} \bigl(\lambda_j(t)-\lambda_k (t)\bigr),\;j,k=1,2, \dots, n. \] The proof of Theorem 1.1 are given in seven steps in Section 2, and two examples are presented in Section 3. The applications of the above theorem to the deficiency index problem of a certain ordinary selfadjoint differential operator is discussed in the dissertation of F. Xie (1995).
