Floquet theorem for linear implicit nonautonomous difference systems

The aim of this paper is to develop the Floquet theory for linear implicit difference systems (LIDS). It is proved that any index-1 LIDS can be transformed into its Kronecker normal form. Then the Floquet theorem on the representation of the fundamental matrix of index-1 periodic LIDS has been established. As an immediate consequence, the Lyapunov reduction theorem is proved. Some applications of the obtained results are discussed. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
