Abstract:
A system of linear differential equations with oscillatory decreasing coefficients is considered. The coefficients have the form $t^{-\alpha}a(t)$, $\alpha>0$ where $a(t)$ is a 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:
$$
\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\biggl(1+\frac{\sin\lambda t}{t^\alpha}\biggr)x=0,
$$
where $\lambda$ and $\alpha$, $0<\alpha\le1$, are real numbers.
