Abstract In this work, the authors draw comparisons between the Floquet theory and Normal Forms technique and apply them towards the investigation of stability bounds for linear time periodic systems. Though the Normal Forms technique has been predominantly used for the analysis of nonlinear equations, in this work, the authors utilize it to transform a linear time periodic system to a time-invariant system, similar to the Lyapunov–Floquet (L–F) transformation. The authors employ an intuitive state augmentation technique, modal transformation, and near identity transformations to facilitate the application of time-independent Normal Forms. This method provides a closed form analytical expression for the state transition matrix (STM). Additionally, stability analysis is performed on the transformed system and the comparative results of dynamical characteristics and temporal variations of a simple linear Mathieu equation are also presented in this work.

Abstract As per Floquet theory, a transformation matrix (Lyapunov Floquet transformation matrix) converts a linear time periodic system to a linear time-invariant one. Though a closed form expression for such a matrix was missing in the literature, this method has been widely used for studying the dynamical stability of a time periodic system. In this paper, the authors have derived a closed form expression for the Lyapunov Floquet (L-F) transformation matrix analytically using intuitive state augmentation, Modal Transformation and Normal Forms techniques. The results are tested and validated with the numerical methods on a Mathieu equation with and without damping. This approach could be applied to any linear time periodic systems.
