Remark on Krasnosielski's guiding functions and Srzednicki's periodic segments (Q1004611)

The author briefly recalls some results from the theory of guiding functions as developed by M. A. Krasnosel'skii. In particular, he focuses on the situation when a differential system possesses a complete set of guiding functions. He shows that, in such a case, there is a periodic isolating segment that carries the same information concerning periodic solutions of that system.
