Periodic Solutions of Second Order Non-autonomous Differential Systems

PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF CERTAIN THREE DIMENSIONAL AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

There has been extensive work on the existence of periodic solutions for nonlinear second order autonomous differantial equations, but little work regarding the third order problems. The popular Poincare-Bendixon theorem applies well to the former but not the latter (see [2] and [3]). We give a necessary condition for the existence of periodic solutions for the third order autonomous system...

ON THE EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR CERTAIN NON-LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Here we consider some non-autonomous ordinary differential equations of order n and present some results and theorems on the existence of periodic solutions for them, which are sufficient conditions, section 1. Also we include generalizations of these results to vector differential equations and examinations of some practical examples by numerical simulation, section 2. For some special cases t...

SOME BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR A NON-LINEAR THIRD ORDER O.D.E.

Existence of periodic solutions for non-linear third order autonomous differential equation (O.D.E.) has not been investigated to as large an extent as non-linear second order. The popular Poincare-Bendixon theorem applicable to second order equation is not valid for third order equation (see [3]). This conclusion opens a way for further investigation.

MULTIPLE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF NON-AUTONOMOUS AND CONVEX HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

In this paper we study Multiple periodic solutions for a class of non-autonomous and convex Hamiltonian systems and we investigate use some properties of Ekeland index.  

Periodic Solutions of Discontinuous Second Order Differential Systems

We provide sufficient conditions por the existence of periodic solutions of some classes of autonomous and non–autonomous second order differential equations with discontinuous right–hand sides. In the plane the discontinuities considered are given by the straight lines either x = 0, or xy = 0. Two applications of these results are made, one to control systems with variable structure, and the o...
