Existence of periodic solutions for a semilinear ordinary differential equation
Petr Girg
Abstract:
Dancer [3] found a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence
of periodic solutions to the equation

His condition is based on a functional that depends on the solution to
the above equation with
. However, that solution is not always
explicitly known which makes the condition unverifiable in practical
situations. As an alternative, we find computable bounds for the
functional that provide a sufficient condition and
a necessary condition for the existence of solutions.
