Abstract
Let
or, in vector notation,
be a real system of differential equations with real parameter µ, where F is analytic in x and µ for x in a domain G and |µ| < c. For |µ| < c let (1.1) possess an analytic family of stationary solutions \( \mathop x\limits_{-} = \mathop x\limits_{-}^\sim (\mu ) \) lying in G:
. As is well known, the characteristic exponents of the stationary solution are the eigenvalues of the eigenvalue problem
where Lµ stands for the linear operator, depending only on µ, which arises after neglect of the nonlinear terms in the series expansion of F about \( \mathop x\limits_{-} = \mathop x\limits_{-}^\sim \). The exponents are either real or pairwise complex conjugate and depend on µ.
