Translation-invariant monotone systems. I: Autonomous/periodic case (Q984609): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate the convergence (to a \(2\pi\)-periodic solution) of solutions of autonomous or periodic translation-invariant monotone systems of ordinary differential equations. By defining a map \(T\) by \(Tx = \varphi_{2\pi}(x)\), where \(\varphi_t(x)\) is the solution of the system, and by proving the convergence of \(T^nx\) for every \(x\) where \(T\) is \(K\)-order preserving and translation-invariant, they show that every solution of the system converges to a \(2\pi\)-periodic solution under some conditions (without assuming strong monotonicity).
