Abstract

A perturbative procedure is proposed to compute analytic approximations to the fundamental matrix of linear differential equations with periodic or quasi-periodic coefficients. The algorithm allows one to construct high-order analytic approximations to the characteristic exponents and thus analyze the stability of the system. In addition, the approximate matrix solutions preserve by construction qualitative properties of the exact solution.
