On periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side (Q881029)

The author studies the existence of vector-valued periodic solutions of differential equations or inclusions of first and second order by a modification of the method of translation along trajectories due to Filippov. Such modification does not require the uniqueness of the solution of the Cauchy problem. The obtained results cover a wider class of discontinuous nonlinearities beyond the usual Carathéodory or Davey conditions. Some examples are given.
