On the existence of homoclinic orbits in nonautonomous second-order differential equations (Q2191985)

This paper is devoted to the study of the second-order differential equation of the following form: \[ \ddot{x} + f(t)\dot{x} + g(t)x = 0, \tag{1.1} \] where the continuous bounded functions \(f(t)\) and \(g(t)\) are periodic. Using the Lyapunov functions method the author obtains sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinic trajectories. As an example, the author consider the differential equation in which all solutions are homoclinic.
