(a) Under the assumption that u1, . . . , uk form a Jordan chain for the coefficient matrix A, prove that the functions (10.17) are solutions to the system u̇ = Au.

(b) Prove that they are linearly independent.
u1(t)=e^w1, u (t) = e(t w + W), u; (t) = ext and, in general, u(t) = e(tw +tW2 + W3), ti-i 1jk. (j-i)! W 23 (10.17)
