Periods of solutions of periodic differential equations
Smooth non-autonomous T-periodic differential equations x'(t)=f(t,x(t)) defined in \R\K^n, where \K is \R or \C and n 2 can have periodic solutions with any arbitrary period~S. We show that this is not the case when n=1. We prove that in the real C^1-setting the period of a non-constant periodic sol...

| Summary: | Smooth non-autonomous T-periodic differential equations x'(t)=f(t,x(t)) defined in \R\K^n, where \K is \R or \C and n 2 can have periodic solutions with any arbitrary period~S. We show that this is not the case when n=1. We prove that in the real C^1-setting the period of a non-constant periodic solution of the scalar differential equation is a divisor of the period of the equation, that is T/S\N. Moreover, we characterize the structure of the set of the periods of all the periodic solutions of a given equation. We also prove similar results in the one-dimensional holomorphic setting. In this situation the period of any non-constant periodic solution is commensurable with the period of the equation, that is T/S\Q. |
