Abstract

The nonlinear system of first-order differential equations with a deviating argument

$$\dot x(t) = Bx(t) + F(x(t - \tau )) + p(t)$$

is considered, where x(t)εR 2, τεR, BεR 2×2, F is bounded and p(t) is continuous and 2π-periodic. Some sufficient conditions for the existence of 2π-periodic solutions of the above equation, in a resonance case, by using the Brouwer degree theory and a continuation theorem based on Mawhin's coincidence degree are obtained. Some applications of the main results to Duffing's equations are also given.
