A remark on the genericity of multiplicity results for forced oscillations on manifolds (Q2569586)

The paper deals with the genericity of some multiplicity results for periodically perturbed autonomous first- and second-order ODEs on manifolds. It is proved that if the differentiable manifold \(M\) is compact, then the equation \[ x_{\pi}^{\prime\prime}=h(x,x^{\prime})+f(t,x,x^{\prime}) \] on \(M\) has \(|\chi(M)|\) geometrically distinct \(T\)-periodic solutions for any small enough perturbing function \(f\), where \(h: TM\to \mathbb{R}^k\) is \(C^r\) and tangent to \(M\), the perturbing function \(f: \mathbb{R}\times TM:\to \mathbb{R}^k\) is \(T\)-periodic in \(t\) (with \(T>0\) a fixed number), tangent to \(M\) and satisfies the usual Carathéodory and admissibility conditions, and \(\chi(\cdot)\) is the Euler-Poincaré characteristic.
