โฆ Synopsis
The variational equation of the periodic solution in an homogenous potential of degree 2m leads to a family of Hill's equations. H. Yoshida solves these equations by a transformation to the Gauss equation of hypergeometric functions. We study directly this family for complex t, and in the case m -----2, we give a detailed description of critical solutions.

For the k x k-matrix-valued version of Hill's equation it is shown that the dimension of the matrix needed to compute the Floquet exponents can be reduced from 2k to k. Also the existence of periodic solutions is equivalent to the non-invertibility of certain k x k-matrices.
