On forced fast oscillations for delay differential equations on compact manifolds (Q1006091): Difference between revisions

The authors prove an existence result for forced oscillations of delay differential equations on compact manifolds with nonzero Euler-Poincaré characteristic. When the period is smaller than the delay, the fixed point index theory of Eells and Fournier and Nussbaum are needed instead of classical one. This theory regards eventually condensing \(C^{1}\) maps between \(C^{1}\)-ANRs and cannot be applied when \(M\) is \(\partial\)-manifold with a \(\partial M\neq \emptyset \). An example is presented to illustrate the results.
