Existence of nonstationary periodic solutions for \(\Gamma\)-symmetric Lotka-Volterra type systems (Q550357)

The authors present a general framework for applications of the twisted equivariant degree with one free parameter to an autonomous \(\Gamma\)-symmetric system of functional differential equations in order to detect and classify its periodic solutions. As an example, they prove the existence of multiple non-constant periodic solutions of a \(\Gamma\)-symmetric system of Lotka-Volterra equations with delay. Some computational examples for several finite groups \(\Gamma\) are also presented.
