Usage of Floquet's Method

115 Views Asked by At

I'm treating with a nonlinear bidimensional system of ODE, in which one of my fixed points is non-hyperbolic, that is, its eigenvalues has ($\Re(\lambda_{1,2}) = 0$). Therefore, I cannot say anything about its stability from the linear analysis once it does not satisfy Hartman-Grobman theorem. To overcome this difficulty I want to use Floquet's method to define the stability of the closed orbit, but apparently this should be used for linear systems. My doubt is: Can I use Floquet's method in the linerized system? If not, is there any nonlinear kind of Floquet's treatment?
