Resonance and nonresonance periodic value problems of first-order differential systems (Q965774)

Summary: This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the nonresonance periodic boundary value problems (BVP) for the first-order differential system: \[ x'(t)+b(t)x(t)=F(t,x(t)),\quad t\in [0,1], \] \[ x(0)=x(1), \] where \[ F\in C([0,1]\times\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n),\quad b\in C([0,1],\mathbb{R})\text{ with } \int^1_0b(\tau)\,d\tau\neq 0, \] and with the existence and uniqueness of the resonance periodic boundary value problem of first-order: \[ x'(t)=f(t,x(t)),\quad t\in [0,1], \] \[ x(0)=x(1), \] where \[ f\in C([0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)\text{ with }f\neq 0\text{ on }[0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^n. \] The purpose of this paper is to establish several new existence and uniqueness theorems.
