Subharmonic solutions of systems of difference equations with periodic perturbations. I: Existence (Q1856927)

Let \[ x(n+ 1)= f(x(n))+ \mu g(n, x(n),\mu)\tag{\(*\)} \] have a \(k\)-periodic solution for \(\mu= 0\), and let \(g\) be an \(\omega\)-periodic function in \(n\). Then it is known under certain conditions that for small \(|\mu|\) equation \((*)\) has a solution with the period \(k_\omega= a\omega= bk\) where \(a\), \(b\) are relative prime integers. The difference of the solutions is estimated, and it tends to zero as \(\mu\to 0\).
