Abstract
We consider N coupled linear oscillators with time-dependent coefficients. An exact complex amplitude-real phase decomposition of the oscillatory motion is constructed. This decomposition is further used to derive N exact constants of motion which generalize the so-called Ermakov-Lewis invariant of a single oscillator. In the Floquet problem of periodic oscillator coefficients we discuss the existence of periodic complex amplitude functions in terms of existing Floquet solutions.
