On the Asymptotic Integration of a System of Linear Differential Equations with Oscillatory Decreasing Coefficients

Abstract

A system of linear differential equations with oscillatory decreasing coefficients is considered. The coefficients has the form $t^{-α}a(t)$,~$α>0$, where $a(t)$ is trigonometric polynomial with an arbitrary set of frequencies. The asymptotic behavior of the solutions of this system as $t\to\infty$ is studied. We construct an invertible (for sufficiently large $t$) change of variables that takes the original system to a system not containing oscillatory coefficients in its principal part. The study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the transformed system is a simpler problem. As an example, the following equation is considered: $$ \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\left(1+\frac{\sinλt} {t^α}\right)x=0, $$ where $λ$ and $α$,~ $0<α\le 1$, are real numbers.
