Derivative F' in Mathieu Sine
Are you sure there has to be the derivative of F en the denominator of the Mathieu Sine function? (147.156.25.151 (talk) 12:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC))
Yes, this is to normalize the derivative of Mathieu Sine.widdma (talk) 23:30, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Students beware
I extensively edited the April 2006 version of this article and had been monitoring it for bad edits, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.
Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see User:Hillman/Archive. I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions, although I hope for the best.
Good luck to all students in your search for information, regardless!---CH 02:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Floquet solution section
1 - A periodic function repeats itself after each period. i.e., f(x+T) = f(x). Based on the plot, this doesn't look like a periodic function at all, just a function that sort of looks sinusoidal with regular zeroes.
2 - It's not even totally clear what this plot represents. Is it a plot of F or a plot of P? If F or P can be complex valued, why is this plot real values only?
