Locally lipschitzian guiding function method for ODEs

From MaRDI portal





The author treats the existence of periodic solutions to the problem \[ x'(t) = f(t,x(t)), \quad x(0)=x(T), \tag{*} \] where \(f:[0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n\) is a Carathéodory function with integrably bound growth. Under the assumption that \(f\) has a locally Lipschitzian guiding function \(V\) with Ind\((V) \neq 0\) it is proved that problem (*) admits at least one solution. Moreover, it is shown that every coercive direct potential has Ind\((V)=1\), and so it can be used as a guiding function in the above theorem.
