Periodic solutions to reversible second order autonomous DDEs in prescribed symmetric nonconvex domains

Abstract: The existence and spatio-temporal patterns of

2 p i

-periodic solutions to second order reversible equivariant autonomous systems with commensurate delays are studied using the Brouwer

O (2) i m e s G a m m a i m e s m a t h b b Z_{2}

-equivariant degree theory. The solutions are supposed to take their values in a prescribed symmetric domain

D

, while

O (2)

is related to the reversal symmetry combined with the autonomous form of the system. The group

G a m m a

reflects symmetries of

D

and/or possible coupling in the corresponding network of identical oscillators, and

m a t h b b Z_{2}

is related to the oddness of the right-hand side. Abstract results, based on the use of Gauss curvature of

p a r t i a l D

, Hartman-Nagumo type {it a priori bounds} and Brouwer equivariant degree techniques, are supported by a concrete example with

G a m m a = D_{8}

-- the dihedral group of order
