The determinantal method for Hill systems
R. Denk
Abstract. The Floquet exponents of Hill systems can be described as the zeros of the determinant of an infinite block matrix. Using acceleration of convergence, this approach can be applied numerically. On the other hand, the determinantal method provides the starting values for the calculation of the Floquet exponents as selected eigenvalues of an infinite block matrix.
