Abstract

The existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution of
the system of differential equations
d
dt
x(t) = A(t)x(t  )
are proved. In particular the Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem
and the contraction mapping principle are used in the analysis. In
addition, the notion of fundamental matrix solution coupled with
Floquet theory is also employed.
