EFFECTIVE REDUCIBILITY OF QUASIPERIODIC LINEAR EQUATIONS CLOSE TO CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS y y y ANGEL JORBA RAFAEL RAMREZR OS AND JORDI VILLANUEVA Abstract Let us consider the dierential equation x A Q t x j j 0 where A is an elliptic constant matr ix and Q depends on time in a quasiper io dic and analytic way It is also assume d that the e igenvalues of A and the basic f requencie s of Q satisfy a diophantine condition Then it is prove d that this system can be re duce d to y A R t y j j 0 where R is exp onentially small in and the linear change of var iables that performs such re duction is also quasiper io dic with the same basic f requencie s than Q The re sults are illustrate d and discuss e d in a practical example Key words quasiper io dic Flo quet theorem quasiper io dic perturbations re ducibility of linear equations AMSMOS sub ject class ications A C C C F Intro duction The wellknown Flo quet theorem state s that any linear p er i o dic system x A t x can b e re duce d to constant co ecients y B y by means of a p er io dic change of var iable s Moreover thi s change of var iable s can b e taken over C with the same p er io d than A t A natural extens ion i s to cons ider the cas e in which the matr ix A t dep ends on time in a quas ip er io dic way Before starting the di scuss ion of thi s i ssue let us recall the denition and bas ic prop ertie s of quas ip er io dic functions Definition A function f is a quasiperiodic function with vector of basic fr equencies if f t F where F is p eriodic in al l its r r arguments and t for j r Moreove
