Period doubling bifurcations in a two-box model of the Brusselator
Two theorems about period doubling bifurcations are proved. A special case, where one multiplier of the homogeneous solution is equal to +1 is discussed in the Appendix.

Some existence and multiplicity results for periodic solutions of second order nonautonomous systems with the potentials changing sign are presented. The proofs of the existence results rely on the use of a linking theorem and the Mountain Pass theorem by Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz [2]. The multiplicity results are deduced by the study of constrained critical points of minimum or Mountain Pass type.
The existence of solutions with prescribed period for a class of Hamiltonian systems with a Keplerian singularity is discussed.
We consider perturbations of n-dimensional maps having homo-heteroclinic connections of compact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We justify the applicability of the Poincaré-Melnikov method by following a geometric approach. Several examples are included.
