In this paper, by rigorous calculations, we consider $L^2({\mathbb{R}})-spectrum$ of linear differential operators with periodic coefficients. These operators are usually seen in linearization of nonlinear partial differential equations about spatially periodic traveling wave solutions. Here, by using the solution operator obtained from Floquet theory, we prove rigorously that $L^2({\mathbb{R}})-spectrum$ of the linear operator is determined by the eigenvalues of Floquet matrix.

Let $\{U(t,s)\}_{t{\geq}s}$ be a periodic evolutionary process with period ${\tau}$ > 0 on a Banach space X. Also, let L be the generator of the evolution semigroup associated with $\{U(t,s)\}_{t{\geq}s}$ on the phase space $P_{\tau}(X)$ of all ${\tau}$-periodic continuous X-valued functions. Some kind of variation-of-constants formula for the solution u of the equation $({\alpha}I-L)^nu=f$ will be given together with the conditions on $f{\in}P_{\tau}(X)$ for the existence of coefficients in the formula involving the monodromy operator $U(0,-{\tau})$. Also, examples of ODEs and PDEs are presented as its application.
