\(M\)-periodic problem of order \(2k\) (Q1270585)

The author gives sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to some general matrix-periodic problems of higher even order, which have a variational structure. A key tool in the proofs is a generalization of the Du Bois-Reymond lemma for periodic functions of order one, which was proved by the author in a previous work [Gȩba, Kazimierz (ed.) et al., Topology in nonlinear analysis. Banach Cent. Publ. 35, 221-236 (1996; Zbl 0868.49015)].
