Abstract

The Lipschitz differential equation, x˙=f(x)\dot x=f(x), in spaces XCnX \in C^n and XRnX \in R^n is considered. The minimal period problem is to find the exact lower bound for peri-ods of non-constant solutions, expressed in the Lipschitz constant LL. In this paper, some inequality for the components, xk(t)x_k(t), which is independent on the space XX is found. As a result, it is proved that for any XX and nn, the normalized minimal period, k=TL2πk=TL \leq 2\pi. In the space CnC^n, the equality k=2πk= 2\pi is reached for any XX. For RnR^n, this equality is attained for univercally adopted norms.
