The Cauchy-Floquet factorization by successive Riccati transformations

Scalar linear time-varying systems are addressed. In particular, a new factorization method for the associated scalar polynomial system differential operator is presented. It differs from the classical results due to Cauchy and Floquet, in that it is based upon successive Riccati transformations of the Frobenius companion system matrix. As a consequence, the factorization is obtained in terms of the earlier introduced dynamic eigenvalues.
