Abstract:
Etgen and Pawlowski have recently given criteria for oscillation of matrix differential equations which involve the value of positive linear functionals on the matrices appearing in a matrix differential equation. We characterize these functionals and indicate relationships to eigenvalue criteria for oscillation. Our results are also useful for the detection of the oscillation of particular matrix differential equations.References
