Periodic Solutions of Second-order Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

Periodic solutions of second order non-autonomous singular dynamical systems

In this paper, we establish two different existence results of positive periodic solutions for second order non-autonomous singular dynamical systems. The first one is based on a nonlinear alternative principle of Leray–Schauder and the result is applicable to the case of a strong singularity as well as the case of a weak singularity. The second one is based on Schauder’s fixed point theorem an...

Periodic Solutions of Second Order Hamiltonian Systems

We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the second order Hamiltonian system −x′′ − λx = εV ′ x (t, x) , where ε is a small parameter, x ∈ R and V (t, x) is 2π-periodic in t. Moreover we provide two applications.

Periodic Solutions of Dissipative Systems Revisited

We reprove in an extremely simple way the classical theorem that time periodic dissipative systems imply the existence of harmonic periodic solutions, in the case of uniqueness. We will also show that, in the lack of uniqueness, the existence of harmonics is implied by uniform dissipativity. The localization of starting points and multiplicity of periodic solutions will be established, under su...

Twin Positive Periodic Solutions of Second Order Singular Differential Systems

In this paper, we study positive periodic solutions to singular second order differential systems. It is proved that such a problem has at least two positive periodic solutions. The proof relies on a nonlinear alternative of Leray–Schauder type and on Krasnosel’skĭı fixed point theorem on compression and expansion of cones.
