Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a theory for differential equations with doubly-periodic coefficients analogous to the classic Floquet theory for differential equations with singly periodic coefficients. Unlike the classical theory the role of the exponent
v
of the differential equation is fundamental. If
v
takes integral values the analogous theory is well known and goes back to the work of Hermite in 1877. When
v
is rational the theory depends essentially on whether a certain number theoretic conjecture proposed by F. M. Arscott and G. P. Wright in 1969 is true. The paper resolves the conjecture and brings the doubly-periodic Floquet theory to some degree of completion.
