Abstract
We consider the system
where
is a map from I = [0, T] to \(\mathbb R^n\) such that each component x j(t) is a periodic function in H 1 with period T, and the function V (t, x) = V (t, x 1, ⋯ , x n) is continuous from \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) to \(\mathbb R\) with
For each \(x \in \mathbb R^n,\) the function V (t, x) is periodic in t with period T.
