Abstract:
In this paper we generalize to the nonautonomous case a theorem of C. L. Siegel on the reducibility of an analytic dynamical system to normal form in a neighborhood of an equilibrium point. In fact, under certain concrete assumptions with respect to the behavior of the system as $t\to\infty$, we show that in a neighborhood of an equilibrium we can reduce the system to a linear system by means of a change of coordinates that depends on the time $t$ and is analytic in the remaining variables. The results obtained are applicable to the problem of the stability of an equilibrium point.
