On the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for difference equations of second order
We prove existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for an incomplete second-order abstract Cauchy problem associated with operators which have polynomially bounded resolvent. Some examples of differential operators to which our abstract result applies are also included.
We study the existence of global canard surfaces for a wide class of real singular perturbation problems. These surfaces define families of solutions which remain near the slow curve as the singular parameter goes to zero.
For several specific mappings we show their chaotic behaviour by detecting the existence of their transversal homoclinic points. Our approach has an analytical feature based on the method of Lyapunov-Schmidt.
