that can be transformed into a system with constant coefficients by a change of variables
, where
is a Lyapunov transformation. If the mapping
is continuous and periodically depends on
, then (*) is a reducible system (Lyapunov's theorem). The system (*) is reducible if and only if there is a Lyapunov transformation
and an operator
such that every solution of (*) has the form

(Erugin's criterion).
