2017 Elsevier Inc. Assuming a symmetric matrix-valued potential, we consider the associated -periodic Schrdinger operators H on intervals [0,P], where in our applications P denotes the period of a stationary periodic solution to a nonlinear evolutionary PDE. We relate the Morse index of H to certain Maslov indices, and apply our theory to operators obtained when AllenCahn equations and systems are linearized about stationary periodic solutions.
