A continuation approach to superlinear periodic boundary value problems (Q2639223)

The problem of the existence of T-periodic solutions for the differential system \(x'=F(t,x)\), where F: [0,T]\(\times {\mathbb{R}}^ m\times {\mathbb{R}}^ m\mapsto {\mathbb{R}}^ m\) is a Carathéodory function, is considered. There are established solvability results of the periodic BVP in the special case of even space dimension. Comparison with existing results in the literature and many applications are given.
