The family of circle maps \begin{equation*} f_{b, \omega} (x) = x + \omega + b\, \phi(x) \end{equation*} is used as a simple model for a periodically forced oscillator. The parameter $\omega$ represents the unforced frequency, $b$ the…

We study the Excluded Grid Theorem, a fundamental structural result in graph theory, that was proved by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal work on graph minors. The theorem states that there is a function $f: \mathbb{Z}^+ \to…
Weakly coupled oscillators are used throughout the physical sciences, particularly in mathematical neuroscience to describe the interaction of neurons in the brain. Systems of weakly coupled oscillators have a well-known decomposition to a…
We consider the anharmonic oscillator with an arbitrary-degree anharmonicity, a damping term and a forcing term, all coefficients being time-dependent: u" + g_1(x) u' + g_2(x) u + g_3(x) u^n + g_4(x) = 0, n real. Its physical applications…
Given a bounded regular domain $\omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N-1}$ and the half-cylinder $\Sigma = \omega \times (0,+\infty)$, we consider the relative overdetermined torsion problem in $\Sigma$, i.e. \[\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta…
This note is an addendum to the results of P.O. Frederickson and A.C. Lazer [1], and A.C. Lazer [4] on periodic oscillations, with linear part at resonance. We show that a small modification of the argument in [4] provides a more general…
The delayed Duffing equation $\ddot{x}(t)+x(t-T)+x^3(t)=0$ is shown to possess an infinite and unbounded sequence of rapidly oscillating, asymptotically stable periodic solutions, for fixed delays such that $T^2<\tfrac{3}{2}\pi^2$. In…
We prove existence of small amplitude, 2 pi/omega -periodic in time solutions of completely resonant nonlinear wave equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions for any frequency omega belonging to a Cantor-like set of positive measure and…
This paper deals with various cases of resonance, which is a fundamental concept of science and engineering. Specifically, we study the connections between periodic and unbounded solutions for several classes of equations and systems. In…
We deal with the following system of coupled asymmetric oscillators \[ \begin{cases} \ddot{x}_1+a_1x_1^+-b_1x^-_1+\phi_1(x_2)=p_1(t) \\ \ddot{x}_2+a_2\,x_2^+-b_2\,x^-_2+\phi_2(x_1)=p_2(t) \end{cases} \] where $\phi_i: \mathbb{R} \to…
In a planar infinite strip with a fast oscillating boundary we consider an elliptic operator assuming that both the period and the amplitude of the oscillations are small. On the oscillating boundary we impose Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin…
Starting from the nonlinear ODE $z'' + f(t)\,z + g(t)\, z^{m}=0$ with $m>1$, we show that after a suitable normal-form reduction of any Hill equation one may, without loss of generality, fix the linear part as $f(t)\equiv \omega^{2}$ (with…
We consider the forced harmonic oscillator quantized according to infinite statistics ( a special case of the `quon' algebra proposed by Greenberg ). We show that in order for the statistics to be consistently evolved the forcing term must…
This paper concerns the behavior of time-periodic solutions to 1D dissipative autonomous semilinear hyperbolic PDEs under the influence of small time-periodic forcing. We show that the phenomenon of forced frequency locking happens…
Second order linear non-autonomous differential equations with negative stiffness are considered. Using Chetaev-like (Lyapunov-like) functions, necessary (sufficient) conditions are found for the solutions to be bounded for all initial…

Let $f$ be an exact area-preserving monotone twist diffeomorphism of the infinite cylinder and $P_{\omega,f}(\xi)$ be the associated Peierls barrier. In this paper, we give the H\"{o}lder regularity of $P_{\omega,f}(\xi)$ with respect to…
