On the existence of periodic solutions for a certain type of nonlinear differential equations (Q1898790)

We prove the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions for the following two couples of nonlinear partial differential equations \[ \begin{cases} u_{xx}- u_{tt}+ n^2\cdot u= \varepsilon\cdot g(t, v),\quad & v(0, t)= v(\pi, t)= 0\\ v_{xx}+ v_{tt}= \varepsilon\cdot f(u, v),\quad & u(0, t)= u(\pi, t)= 0\end{cases} \tag{I} \] \[ \begin{cases} u_{xx}- u_{tt}+ n^2\cdot u= \varepsilon\cdot g(t, v),\quad & v(x, t+ T)= v(x, t)\\ v_{tt}- v_{xx}+ a\cdot v_t= \varepsilon(f(u, v)+ h(v) v_{tt}),\quad & u(x, t+ T)= u(x, t),\end{cases} \tag{II} \] where \(a> 0\) is a constant, \(n\in \mathbb{N}, h, f, g\in C^\infty\), \(g(\cdot, v)\) is \(T\)-periodic, and \[ h(v)= \sum^1_{i= 0} b_i\cdot v^{2i}+ O(|v|^4),\quad g(t, v)= \sum^5_{i= 0} q_i(t)\cdot v^{2i+ 1}+ O(|v|^{13}), \] \[ f(u, v)= \sum_{i+ j= 1, 3} a_{ij}\cdot v^i\cdot v^j+ O((|u|+ |v|)^5). \] The problem (I) is possibly related to the Zakharov system for an electromagnetic field in a plasma, and the problem (II) is a coupled dissipative wave equation. We shall show that the above equations have nonzero (i.e. nontrivial) solutions for small \(\varepsilon\) and almost each fixed \(T> 0\) in the sense of the Lebesgue measure. Of course, \(f\), \(g\) will satisfy additional conditions.
