Abstract:
Under consideration is the problem
$$
\Lambda x:=A(t)\frac{d}{dt}x(t)+B(t)x(t)=f(t), \quad t\in T\subseteq R,
$$
where $A(t)$ and $B(t)$ are $(n\times n)$-matrices, and $f(t)$ and $x(t)$ stand for known and unknown vector-functions. In particular, some conditions on $A(t)$ and $B(t)$ are specified which ensure that the operator $\Lambda$ is Noetherian. The index is found.
