Abstract: We give a sufficient condition for systems with symmetries to have periodic solutions with equal periods. We show that the main result can be applied both to Hamiltonian and to non-Hamiltonian systems. We apply the main results to produce planar centers with equal period functions.


The author studies the periodic orbits (cycles) in the system \[ \begin{aligned} \dot{z}=V(z),\end{aligned} \] where \(V=(V_1,\ldots,V_n)\in C^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) is open and connected, \(z=(z_1,\ldots,z_n)\in\Omega\). Assuming some symmetry in the vector field, the author establishes that the study of cycles' periods in the system can be reduced to that of the cycles' periods of another system (with the same orbits but with different solutions) \[ \begin{aligned}\dot{z}=\alpha(z)V(z),\end{aligned} \] \(\alpha \in C^0(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)\). Sometimes the second system is simpler and easier to study. Several examples concerned with planar polynomial systems are given, where planar centers having equal period functions are produced.
