Abstract

We study the ordinary differential equation εx¨+x˙+εg(x)=εf(ωt){\varepsilon}\ddot x+\dot x + {\varepsilon} g(x) = {\varepsilon} f(\omega t), with ff and gg analytic and ff quasi-periodic in tt with frequency vector ωRd\omega\in R^{d}. We show that if there exists c0Rc_0\in R such that g(c0)g(c_0) equals the average of ff and the first non-zero derivative of gg at c0c_0 is of odd order nn, then, for ε{\varepsilon} small enough and under very mild Diophantine conditions on ω\omega, there exists a quasi-periodic solution close to c0c_0, with the same frequency vector as ff. In particular if ff is a trigonometric polynomial the Diophantine condition on ω\omega can be completely removed. This extends results previously available in the literature for n=1n=1. We also point out that, if n=1n=1 and the first derivative of gg at c0c_0 is positive, then the quasi-periodic solution is locally unique and attractive.
