Write the equation
u¨(t) + ?u(t) + u(t) cost = 0.
as a matrix differential equation. Compute the
i) monodromy matrix,
ii) characteristic multipliers,
and discuss the stability of the solutions.
Ans 1(I) The monodromy matrix \Phi can be calculated numerically by repeated integration of the systems equations \dot{y} = A(t) y over one period T, starting from independent sets of initial conditions. It is convenient to use the columns of the ide
