On periodic boundary value problem for certain planar system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (Q2154406)

The authors give sufficient conditions for the unique solvability on \([0,\omega]\) of the system \[ \begin{cases} u_1'=p_1(t)|u_2|^{\lambda_1}\mathrm{sgn } \, u_2,\quad u_2'=p_2(t)|u_1|^{\lambda_2} \mathrm{sgn } \, u_1-q(t), \\ u_1(0)=u_1(\omega),\quad u_2(0)=u_2(\omega)-c, \end{cases} \] where \(\omega>0\), \(p_i,q\in L([0,\omega])\), \(i=1,2\), \(c\ge 0\), and \(\lambda_1>0\), \(\lambda_1\lambda_2=1\). In doing this they introduce the set \(V^{-}(\omega,\lambda_1)\) and present both necessary and sufficient conditions as well as effective conditions for the inclusion \((p_1,p_2)\in V^{-}(\omega,\lambda_1)\).
