We prove the existence of infinitely many classical periodic solutions for a class of degenerate semilinear wave equations: \[ u_{tt}-u_{xx}+|u|^{s-1}u=f(x,t), \] for all $s>1$. In particular we prove the existence of infinitely many…
We prove the Conley conjecture for negative monotone, closed symplectic manifolds, i.e., the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of such manifolds.
In this work we provide conditions for the existence of periodic solutions to nonlinear, second-order difference equations of the form \begin{equation*} y(t+2)+by(t+1)+cy(t)=g(t,y(t)) \end{equation*} where $c\neq 0$, and…
Periodic orbits are important objects of discrete dynamical systems, but finding them is not always easy. We present a self-contained introductory account, aimed at non-experts, to prove their existence and study their stability using the…
We consider the one-dimensional NLS equation with a convolution potential and a quintic nonlinearity. We prove that, for most choices of potentials with polynomially decreasing Fourier coefficients, there exist almost-periodic solutions in…

In this paper, we establish the uniqueness of positive solutions to the following fractional nonlinear elliptic equation with harmonic potential \begin{align*} (-\Delta)^s u+ \left(\omega+|x|^2\right) u=|u|^{p-2}u \quad \mbox{in}\,\, \R^n,…
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…
We consider the existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions of periodic evolution equations of the form $u'=A(t)u+\epsilon H(t,u)+f(t)$, where $A(t)$ is, in general, an unbounded operator depending 1-periodically on $t$, $H$ is 1-periodic…
Under conditions of Levinson-Smith type, we prove the existence of a $\tau$-periodic solution for the perturbed generalized Li\'enard equation u''+\phi(u,u')u'+\psi(u)=\epsilon\omega(\frac{t}{\tau},u,u') with periodic forcing term. Also we…
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…
