A linear theory is developed for ionization cooling of muon beams
in periodic channels that can provide cooling of the transverse
emittances and also of the longitudinal emittance via the
emittance exchange. The channels incorporate solenoids and
quadrupoles for transverse focusing, dipoles to generate
dispersion, wedged absorbers for ionization, and rf cavities for
acceleration.  The beam evolution near equilibrium is described by
coupled first-order differential equations for five generalized
emittances with two excitation sources.  The results should be
useful for understanding cooling process and for designing cooling channels
of future muon colliders and neutrino factories.
