Consider matrix ODE:
Where is a given periodic matrix with period
, i.e.
.
Then the solution $\phi(t)$ satisfied identity:
.
This could be explained as .
Now we consider to solve the equation: . At least formally it could be solved:
.
(Unfortunately is a multi-value function so
, where
is the identity matrix and
is a solution of
.) This argument is false.
In fact matrix is not like numbers, the function is much more complicated. we have,
So to solve , it is equivalent to :
But this type of identity only meaningful when , so is it true that for
the equation is solved by
, and for
it do not have solution?
The naive inspirit is wrong, the situation is similar to the case while
could extend to
and the identity
always holds for . The key observation is
always holds when
, this will lead to a reasonable value of
even when and this process could be continue to the whole matrix space and the identity enjoy the accosted principle so
is well-defined for all
.
Now it is time to consider the rotation number, which is defined by for
is a continuous increasing function.
And I do not know how to associated a dynamic system for the matrix given here, but in any case it seems iff it is given by a hemoermorphifm then the rotation number is zero due to the following reason:
Consider as the quotient
. Your homeomorphism
lifts to a homeomorphism
such that
.
Form the map , where
is the composition
times of
with itself. By construction
and
, so that
factors as a homeomorphism of the circle conjugating
to the rotation.
By the way this approach wors in too.
Maslov index of a holomorphic disk
A natural way to understand the rotation number here is according the way of maslov index, we have the following formula:
Proof sketch:
1..
2. The dynamic system is defined by : ,
.
3. this dynamic system is conjugate to the dynamic system
, Not difficult to proof it is a homomorphism on
and it is zero entropy by Pesin’s formula
If could lifting to $\hat T:R \to R$ the rotation number is defined as :
This problem is not a good problem due to the philosophy, i.e. use rotation number to describe the information of a hamiltonian flow is not satisfied, in fact it is difficult to establish a suitable definition of “rotation number”! But this is the first crucial thing to establish a theorem!
Hamiltonian flow
In mathematics and physics, a Hamiltonian vector field on a symplectic manifold is a vector field, defined for any energy function or Hamiltonian. A Hamiltonian vector field is a geometric manifestation of Hamilton’s equations in classical mechanics. The integral curves of a Hamiltonian vector field represent solutions to the equations of motion in the Hamiltonian form. The diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold arising from the flow of a Hamiltonian vector field are known as canonical transformations in physics and (Hamiltonian) symplectomorphisms in mathematics.[1]
Hamiltonian vector fields can be defined more generally on an arbitrary Poisson manifold. The Lie bracket of two Hamiltonian vector fields corresponding to functions f and g on the manifold is itself a Hamiltonian vector field, with the Hamiltonian given by the Poisson bracket of f and g.

Floquet theory 研究周期系数线性微分方程
$$\dot x=A(t)x,\qquad A(t+T)=A(t).$$
它告诉我们,周期系统的长期行为由一个周期部分和一个指数部分共同决定。

1. 基本解矩阵
令 $X(t)$ 是基本解矩阵,$X(0)=I$。周期性给出
$$X(t+T)=X(t)X(T).$$
矩阵 $X(T)$ 称为 monodromy matrix。它记录系统经过一个周期后的净变化。
2. Floquet 分解
Floquet theorem 说,在复数域上可以写成
$$X(t)=P(t)e^{tB},$$
其中 $P(t+T)=P(t)$,$B$ 是常矩阵。也就是说,周期系统可以拆成周期振荡和指数增长/衰减。
3. 矩阵对数的细节
形式上想令
$$B=\frac1T\log X(T).$$
但矩阵对数是多值的,而且实矩阵上未必能选到实对数。正确表述通常在复数域成立;若要实形式,需要加入额外周期或 Jordan 分解的讨论。
4. 稳定性
monodromy matrix 的特征值称为 Floquet multipliers。若所有 multiplier 的模都小于 $1$,零解渐近稳定;若有模大于 $1$ 的 multiplier,则出现不稳定方向。
5. 与 rotation number 的关系
二维或辛系统中,monodromy 的作用可能诱导圆周或射影线上的动力系统,此时 rotation number 可以描述方向的平均旋转。这把 Floquet theory 和一维动力系统联系起来。
