Nonzero periodic solutions of nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations with a singular matrix multiplying the derivatives (Q1780209)

The problem of finding conditions for the existence of a nonzero periodic solution in a neighborhood of the zero solution for the system of equations \[ S\dot x+ Ax+ f(t,x,\lambda)= 0,\quad t\in(-\infty, \infty), \] where \(x\in E_n\), \(S\) and \(A\) are constant matrices, \(S\) is in general a singular matrix, \(f(t,x,\lambda)\) is a \(2\pi\)-periodic function of \(t\), and \(\lambda\in E_m\) is a parameter. The existence of a periodic solution in the form a trigonometric series is proved by a fixed point method under a necessary condition for the existence of a solution of some finite-dimensional algebraic system of equations.
