of ordinary differential equations

A system

(*)

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).
