In this work we are concerned with the problem of the existence of an exponential dichotomy for the linear singularly perturbed system εx′ = A(t)x, where the matrix A(t) is piecewise uniformly continuous, that is, A(t) admits points of discontinuity but is uniformly continuous in any interval where it is continuous. We shall prove that the classical result regarding the existence of an exponential dichotomy extends to this case, when there is a constant γ > 0 such that |Reλ(t)| ≥ γ > 0 for any eigenvalue λ(t) of A(t). The proofs are obtained by means of the quasidiagonalisation of a non-constant matrix: For A(t), a piecewise uniformly continuous matrix and σ > 0 there exists a bounded, piecewise constant function L(t): J → ℂn×n, and a bounded matrix Δ(t, σ) such that L-1(t)A(t)L(t) = Λ(t) + Δ(t, σ), |Δ(t, σ)| ≤ σ, where Λ(t) is the diagonal matrix consisting of eigenvalues of A(t).
