Monodromy matrix

In mathematics, and particularly ordinary differential equations, a monodromy matrix is the inverse of the fundamental matrix of a system of ODEs evaluated at the period of the coefficients of the system. It is used for the analysis of periodic solutions of ODEs in Floquet theory.
