Floquet growth rate
= Floquet growth rate
{c}
{title2=$\gamma=P^{-1}\log\rho(N)$}
The maximal asymptotic growth rate of a finite-dimensional periodic <linear differential equation> is $P^{-1}\log\rho(N)$, where $P$ is the coefficient period and $N$ the <monodromy matrix of a periodic linear system>. The <spectral radius> selects the dominant <Floquet multiplier>. Generic initial data attain this rate; data lying entirely in other invariant subspaces can grow or decay at different rates.
