Title: Exponential dichotomy of nonautonomous periodic systems in terms of the boundedness of certain periodic Cauchy problems Author: Dhaou Lassoued (Univ. Paris 1, Paris cedex 13, France) Abstract: We prove that a family of $q$-periodic continuous matrix valued function $\{A(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ has an exponential dichotomy with a projector $P$ if and only if $\int_0^t e^{i\mu s}U(t,s)Pds$ is bounded uniformly with respect to the parameter $\mu$ and the solution of the Cauchy operator Problem $$\displaylines{ \dot{Y}(t)=-Y(t)A(t)+ e^{i \mu t}(I-P) ,\quad t\geq s \cr Y(s)=0, }$$ has a limit in $\mathcal{L}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ as s tends to $-\infty$ which is bounded uniformly with respect to the parameter $\mu$. Here, $\{ U(t,s): t, s\in\mathbb{R}\}$ is the evolution family generated by $\{A(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$, $\mu$ is a real number and q is a fixed positive number. Submitted February 01, 2013.
