Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to develop the theory of a linear periodic RFDE(f) that is analogous to the Floquet theory for ordinary differential equations. It is shown by example that a complete Floquet theory will not exist. However, it is possible to define characteristic multipliers and exploit the compactness of the solution operator to show that a Floquet representation exists on the generalized eigenspace of a characteristic multiplier. The decomposition of the space C by a characteristic multiplier is also applied to the variation-of-constants formula.
