Periodic value problems of differential systems on infinite-dimensional spaces and applications to differential geometry (Q1767896)

The paper deals with the existence of a solution of the ordinary differential equation \(y'=G(t,y)\) satisfying the boundary conditions \(y(0,u_0)=u_0\) and \(y(1,u_0)=g(u_0),\) over a separable Hilbert space \(H\). Here, \(G\) is a continuous function and \(G(t,.)\) is a locally Lipschitz function, while the function \(g\) satisfies some inequality properties with respect to the projections to the factors corresponding to a specific orthogonal Schauder base. The result is obtained via the so-called Fan-Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz theorem, an extension of Sperner's lemma. An application is given in \((l_2)\). The paper closes with a reference to an existence result of a problem borrowed from the modern differential geometry.
