for linear systems of ordinary differential equations

Non-negative functions on the space of mappings (or ), integrable on every finite interval, such that equals zero if and only if the system

(*)

is a regular linear system.

The best known (and easiest to define) such regularity indices are as follows.

1) The Lyapunov irregularity index [1]:

where are the Lyapunov characteristic exponents (cf. Lyapunov characteristic exponent) of the system (*), arranged in descending order, while is the trace of the mapping .

2) The Perron irregularity index [2]:

where is the adjoint of the mapping . If the system (*) is a system of variational equations of a Hamiltonian system

then and

Consequently, for a system of variational equations of a Hamiltonian system,

is a necessary and sufficient condition for regularity (a theorem of Persidskii).

For other irregularity indices, see [4]–.
