Abstract

The wave equation on network is defined by ttu=ΔGu+g(u)\partial_{tt}u=\Delta_{G}u+g(u), where uRnu\in\mathbb{R}^{n} and the graph Laplacian ΔG\Delta_{G} is an operator on functions on nn vertices. We suppose that g:RnRng:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n} is an odd continuous function that satisfies g(0)=g(0)=0g(0)=g^{\prime }(0)=0 and the Nagumo condition. Assuming that the graph is invariant by a subgroup of permutations Γ\Gamma, using a Γ\Gamma-equivariant topological invariant we prove the existence of multiple non-constant pp-periodic solutions characterized by their symmetries.
