Abstract:
There have been many results^[1-7] on seeking a periodic solution for systems of autonomous differential equations by using the torus principl. The finest one amony them is still Liapunov’s method of rotating functions proposed by В. B. Nemytskii[3’4]. However, this method is limited in the case that the absolute values of derivatives of rotating functions are greater than some positive constants. This paper summarizes the methods proposed in[3-5] and gives a more careful criterion such that derivatives of rotating functions might be alternative functions. The author provides a sufficient condition of existence of a periodic solution for systems of autonomous differential equations by Using Liapunov’s method of rotating functions under more general circumstances.
