Abstract

We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions of a linear differential system x′=A(t)x, where A is continuous on an interval ([a,∞). We are interested in the situation where the system may not have a desirable asymptotic property such as stability, strict stability, uniform stability, or linear asymptotic equilibrium, but its solutions can be written as x=Pu, where P is continuously differentiable on [a,∞) and u is a solution of a system u′=B(t)u that has the property in question. In this case we say that P preconditions the given system for the property in question.
