Abstract

This paper treats the reducibility of the quasiperiodic linear differential equations

where A is a constant matrix with multiple eigenvalues, Q(t) is a quasiperiodic matrix with respect to time t, and ε is a small perturbation parameter. Under some non-resonant conditions, rapidly convergent methods prove that, for most sufficiently small ε, the differential equations are reducible to a constant coefficient differential equation by means of a quasiperiodic change of variables with the same frequencies as Q(t).
