LaSalle type stationary oscillation theorems for affine-periodic systems (Q2356890)

This paper investigates ODEs \(\dot x=f(t,x)\), which are affine periodic, i.e., there exists a \(T>0\) and a nonsingular matrix \(Q\) such that \[ f(t+T,x)=Qf(t,Q^{-1}x). \] Under a comparison condition on the solutions to \(\dot x=f(t,x)\) it is shown that there exists a unique asymptotically stable solution \(\phi\), which is \(Q\)-affine periodic, that is \[ \phi(t+T)=Q\phi(t) \] for all \(t\in{\mathbb R}\). A corresponding result is also given in the framework of FDEs \(\dot x(t)=F(t,x_t)\). Finally, some sufficient conditions are formulated and shown which allow to apply the above theorems. They include linear ODEs and delay equations.
