The period of oscillations in non-linear systems
We prove an Ambrosetti–Prodi type result for the periodic solutions of the equation , when is arbitrary and or when . The proof uses upper and lower solutions and the Leray–Schauder degree.
Sufficient conditions on the existence of periodic solutions for semilinear differential inclusions are given in general Banach space. In our approach we apply the technique of the translation operator along trajectories. Due to recent results it is possible to show that this operator is a so-called decomposable map and thus admissible for certain fixed point index theories for set-valued maps. Compactness conditions are formulated in terms of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness.
The Poincaré-Bendixson Theorem and the development of the theory are presented - from the papers of Poincaré and Bendixson to modern results.
The objective of this note is the announcement of two results of Ambrosetti-Prodi type concerning the existence of periodic (respectively bounded) solutions of the first order differential equation x' = f (t,x).
Applying a nonsmooth version of a three critical points theorem of Ricceri, we prove the existence of three periodic solutions for an ordinary differential inclusion depending on two parameters.
