Global solution curves for first order periodic problems, with applications (Q2208763)

The authors consider a scalar first order differential equation of the type \[ u'+g(t,u)=0, \] where the function \(g(t,u)\) belongs to \(C^{0,1}\) and is \(T\)-periodic in \(t\). They study the multiplicity of \(T\)-periodic solutions by continuation and bifurcation methods. An example of application is provided by a population model with fishing. Some numerical simulations are also provided.
