Finding a principal fundamental matrix












1














The question is as follows:




Let $$A=begin{pmatrix} sin(x) & 0 \ 0 & -1end{pmatrix} $$ This is periodic with period $T = 2pi$. Find a principal fundamental matrix $phi(x)$.




I am currently able to do problems similar to this where it is just constants in the matrix, but continue to struggle with this question. $($I have a feeling I need to use Floquet's theorem but I am not sure$)$. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

          I take it you're solving the differential equation system
          $$dfrac{dY}{dx} = pmatrix{sin(x) & 0cr 0 & -1cr} Y $$
          Hint: the system decouples into $$ eqalign{dfrac{dy_1}{dx} &= sin(x) y_1cr
          dfrac{dy_2}{dx} &= - y_2cr}$$

            Let's see now . . .



            If I recall correctly, a principal fundamental matrix corresponding to the coefficient matrix



            $A(x) = begin{bmatrix} sin x & 0 \ 0 & -1 end{bmatrix} tag 1$



            is the $2 times 2$ matrix function $phi(x, x_0)$ of $x$ satisfying



            $phi'(x, x_0) = dfrac{d phi(x, x_0)}{dx} = A(x) phi(x, x_0), ; phi(x_0, x_0) = I = begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 1 end{bmatrix}; tag 2$



            if we write



            $phi(x, x_0) = begin{bmatrix} phi_{11}(x, x_0) & phi_{12}(x, x_0) \ phi_{21}(x, x_0) & phi_{22}(x, x_0) end{bmatrix}, tag 3$



            then we see that the $phi_{ij}(x, x_0)$ satisfy



            $phi'_{1j}(x, x_0) = (sin x) phi_{1j}(x, x_0), tag 4$



            $phi'_{2j}(x, x_0) = - phi_{2j}(x, x_0), tag 5$



            where $j = 1, 2$; the solution to (5) is easily recognized to be



            $phi_{2j}(x, x_0) = phi_{2j}(x_0, x_0) e^{-(x - x_0)} = phi_{2j}(x_0, x_0)e^{x_0 - x}, tag 6$



            whereas that to (4) is only slightly less simple:



            $phi_{1j}(x, x_0) = phi_{1j}(x_0, x_0) e^{-(cos x - cos x_0)} = phi_{1j}(x_0, x_0) e^{cos x_0 - cos x}; tag 7$



            assembling (6) and (7) into $phi(x, x_0)$ whilst taking the initial conditions given in (2) into account yields



            $phi(x, x_0) = begin{bmatrix} e^{cos x_0 - cos x} & 0 \ 0 & e^{x_0 - x} end{bmatrix} tag 8$



            as the desired fundamental matrix.

                          $phi'_{2j}(x, x_0) = - phi_{2j}(x, x_0), tag 5$



                          where $j = 1, 2$; the solution to (5) is easily recognized to be



                          $phi_{2j}(x, x_0) = phi_{2j}(x_0, x_0) e^{-(x - x_0)} = phi_{2j}(x_0, x_0)e^{x_0 - x}, tag 6$



                          whereas that to (4) is only slightly less simple:



                          $phi_{1j}(x, x_0) = phi_{1j}(x_0, x_0) e^{-(cos x - cos x_0)} = phi_{1j}(x_0, x_0) e^{cos x_0 - cos x}; tag 7$



                          assembling (6) and (7) into $phi(x, x_0)$ whilst taking the initial conditions given in (2) into account yields



                          $phi(x, x_0) = begin{bmatrix} e^{cos x_0 - cos x} & 0 \ 0 & e^{x_0 - x} end{bmatrix} tag 8$



                          as the desired fundamental matrix.
