On the existence of periodic solutions for a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations (Q1586089)

Consider the nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations \[ x^{(m)}(t)+A f(t,x(t),x'(t),\dots,x^{(m-1)}(t))=p(t), \] where \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n \), \(A \) is a nonsingular matrix, \(f \) is \(T \)-periodic with respect to the first variable, and \(p \) is \(T \)-periodic. The author obtains a Nagumo-type a priori bound for the periodic solutions and then, by using this a priori bound, he proves the existence of at least one \(T \)-periodic solution under some general conditions.
