Computation of Lyapunov–Perron transformation for linear quasi-periodic systems

The transformation of a linear time periodic system to a time-invariant system is achieved using the Floquet theory. In this work, the authors attempt to extend the same toward the quasi-periodic systems, using a Lyapunov–Perron transformation. Though a technique to obtain the closed-form expression for the Lyapunov–Perron transformation matrix is missing in the literature, the application of unification of multiple theories would aid in identifying such a transformation. In this work, the authors demonstrate a methodology to obtain the closed-form expression for the Lyapunov–Perron transformation analytically for the case of a commutative quasi-periodic system. In addition, for the case of a noncommutative quasi-periodic system, an intuitive state augmentation and normal form techniques are used to reduce the system to a time-invariant form and obtain Lyapunov–Perron transformation. The results are compared with the numerical techniques for validation.
