The theory of the numerical-analytic method: Achievements and new trends of development. IV (Q4255334)

This paper is a survey of results concerning the development of the numerical-analytic method of construction of a periodic solution to nonlinear differential systems. The authors discuss its application to autonomous systems \(\dot x=f(x)\) and to periodically excited ones \(\dot x=f(x)+g(t)\). It is shown that in the special case of the equation \(\ddot x+\alpha\sin x=\pi\cos\pi t\) the method allows to establish the existence of a 1-periodic solution under the assumption that \(0\leq\alpha\leq 4,81269\ldots\) The initial values of such a solution satisfies the condition \(\|x(0)\|\leq\pi/2,\;\|\dot x(0)\|\leq 0.6\alpha(6-\alpha)^{-1}+ 2/\pi\). The final part of the paper is devoted to \(T\)-periodic problems for differential equations with impulses of the form \[ \dot x=f(t,x),\;t\neq t_i;\quad \Delta x|_{t=t_i}=H(x), \quad i=1,2,\ldots,p;\;0<t_1<\cdots<t_p<T,\;x(0)=x(T). \] Sufficient conditions under which this problem is solvable by means of the numerical-analytic method are analyzed.
