We address the existence of periodic orbits for periodic eco-epidemiological system with disease in the prey. To do it, we consider three main steps. Firstly we study a one parameter family of systems and obtain uniform bounds for the…
Given a diffeomorphism of the plane, which has a periodic orbit, we show how Nielsen fixed point theory can be used to establish the existence of a fixed point which is linked with this periodic orbit.
The present paper is a review of counterexamples to the ``Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture'' or, more generally, of examples of Hamiltonian systems having no periodic orbits on a compact energy level. We begin with the discussion of the…

Many exo-solar systems discovered in the last decade consist of planets orbiting in resonant configurations and consequently, their evolution should show long-term stability. However, due to the mutual planetary interactions a multi-planet…

Periodic orbits are fundamental to understand the dynamics of nonlinear systems. In this work, we focus on two aspects of interest regarding periodic orbits, in the context of a dissipative mapping, derived from a prototype model of a…
