Abstract

In this paper, some analysis techniques for general time-periodic nonlinear Hamiltonian dynamical systems have been presented. First, the well-known Lyapunov-Floquet transformation is utilized to convert the time-periodic dynamical system to a form in which the linear part is time invariant. At this stage two viable alternatives are suggested. In the first approach, the resulting dynamical system is transformed to a Hamiltonian normal form through an application of permutation matrices. In the second approach, the resulting quasilinear time-periodic system is directly analyzed via time-dependent normal form theory.
