Solutions of fixed period in the nonlinear wave equation on networks

Abstract: The wave equation on network is defined by

p a r t i a l_{t t} u = D e l t a_{G} u + g (u)

, where

u i n m a t h b b R^{n}

and the graph Laplacian

D e l t a_{G}

is an operator on functions on

n

vertices. We suppose that

g : m a t h b b R^{n} i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R^{n}

is an odd continuous function that satisfies

g (0) = g^{p r i m e} (0) = 0

and the Nagumo condition. Assuming that the graph is invariant by a subgroup of permutations

G a m m a

, using a

G a m m a

-equivariant topological invariant we prove the existence of multiple non-constant

p

-periodic solutions characterized by their symmetries.
