We consider a Caratheodory differential equation with a state-dependent convex constraint that changes BV-continuously in time (a perturbed BV-continuous state-dependent sweeping processes). By setting up an appropriate catching-up algorithm we prove solvability of the initial value problem. Then, for sweeping processes with $T$-periodic right-hand-sides, we prove the existence of at least one $T$-periodic solution. Finally, we further consider a $T$-periodic sweeping process which is close to an autonomous sweeping process with a constant constraint and prove the existence of a $T$-periodic solution specifically located near the boundary switched equilibrium of the autonomous sweeping process.

We develop a theory which allows making qualitative conclusions about the dynamics of both monotone and non-monotone Moreau sweeping processes. Specifically, we first prove that any sweeping processes with almost periodic monotone right-hand-sides admits a globally exponentially stable almost periodic solution. And then we describe the extent to which such a globally stable solution persists under non-monotone perturbations., Comment: 2 figures

We consider boundary value problems for stochastic differential equations of second order with a small parameter. For this case we prove a special existence and unicity theorem for strong solutions. The asymptotic behavior of these solutions as small parameter goes to zero is studied. The stochastic averaging theorem for such equations is shown. The limits in the explicit form for the solutions as a small parameter goes to zero are found., Comment: The research is partually funded by the grant of the Government of Russian Federation $n^\circ$14.A12.31.0007 and by The National Research Tomsk State University Academic D.I.

By means of a linear scaling of the variables we convert a singular bifurcation equation in $\R^n$ into an equivalent equation to which the classical implicit function theorem can be directly applied. This allows to deduce the existence of a unique branch of solutions as well as a relevant property of the spectrum of the derivative of the singular bifurcation equation along the branch. We use these results to show the existence, uniqueness and the asymptotic stability of periodic solutions of a $T$-periodically perturbed autonomous system bifurcating from a $T$-periodic limit cycle of the autonomous unperturbed system. This problem is classical, but the novelty of the method proposed is that it allows us to solve the problem without any reduction of the dimension of the state space as it is usually done in the literature by means of the Lyapunov-Schmidt method.

A topological degree based averaging principle has been proposed by J. Mawhin in his PhD thesis [J. Mawhin, Le Probleme des Solutions Periodiques en Mecanique non Lineaire, These de doctorat en sciences, Universite de Liege, 1969]. In the present paper we extend this result for the case when the unperturbed system is nonlinear but possesses a set of T-periodic solutions whose initial conditions constitute a boundary of some open set., Comment: Appeared in Russian in Doklady of Russian Academy of Sciences, 388 (2003), no. 4, 439-442

In this paper we consider a class of nonlinear periodic differential systems perturbed by two nonlinear periodic terms with multiplicative different powers of a small parameter $e>0$. For such a class of systems we provide conditions which guarantee the existence of periodic solutions of given period $T>0$. These conditions are expressed in terms of the behaviour on the boundary of an open bounded set $U$ of $R^n$ of the solutions of suitably defined linearized systems. The approach is based on the classical theory of the topological degree for compact vector fields. An application to the existence of periodic solutions to the van der Pol equation is also presented.

In this paper we provide conditions to ensure the existence, for $e>0$ sufficiently small, of periodic solutions of given period $T>0$ in a prescribed domain $U$ for a class of singularly perturbed first order differential systems. Here $e>0$ is the perturbation parameter. Our approach, based on the topological degree theory and the averaging theory, permits to weaken the conditions in [K.R. Schneider, Vibrational control of singularly perturbed systems, in "Lectures Notes in Control and Information Science", 259, 397-408, Springer, London, 2001, Theorem 2] under which the existence of periodic solutions is proved.

In this paper we evaluate the topological index of periodic solutions otained via the Malkin-Loud bifurcation result. Incidentally, we do not assume that the perturbation is differentiale., Comment: Accepted to Math. Nachr., Vol. 281, (2008), No. 1

Let A:D(A)\to E be an infinitesimal generator either of an analytic compact semigroup or of a contractive C_0-semigroup of linear operators acting in a Banach space E. In this paper we give both necessary and sufficient conditions for bifurcation of $T$-periodic solutions for the equation x'=Ax+f(t,x)+e g(t,x,e) from a k-parameterized family of T-periodic solutions of the unperturbed equation corresponding to e=0. We show that by means of a suitable modification of the classical Mel'nikov approach we can construct a bifurcation function and to formulate the conditions for the existence of bifurcation in terms of the topological index of the bifurcation function. To do this, since the perturbation term g is only Lipschitzian we need to extend the classical Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction to the present nonsmooth case., Comment: Submitted to Adv. Nonlinear Stud

Aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of periodic solutions of a nonlinear planar autonomous system having a limit cycle x_0 of least period T_0>0 when it is perturbed by a small parameter, T_1-periodic, perturbation. In the case when T_0/T_1 is a rational number l/k, with l, k prime numbers, we provide conditions to guarantee, for the parameter perturbation e>0 sufficiently small, the existence of klT_0-periodic solutions x_e of the perturbed system which converge to the trajectory x_1 of the limit cycle as e->0. Moreover, we state conditions under which T=klT_0 is the least period of the periodic solutions x_e. We also suggest a simple criterion which ensures that these conditions are verified. Finally, in the case when T_0/T_1 is an irrational number we show the nonexistence, whenever T>0 and e>0, of T-periodic solutions x_e of the perturbed system converging to x_1. The employed methods are based on the topological degree theory.

We consider the Cauchy problem for a semilinear stochastic differential inclusion in a Hilbert space. The linear operator generates a strongly continuous semigroup and the nonlinear term is multivalued and satisfies a condition which is more heneral than the Lipschitz condition. We prove the existence of a mild solution to this problem. This solution is not "strong" in the probabilistic sense, that is, it is not defined on the underlying probability space, but on a larger one, which provides a "very good extension" in the sense of Jacod and Memin. Actually, we construct this solution as a Young measure, limit of approximated solutions provided by the Euler scheme. The compactness in the space of Young measures of this sequence of approximated solutions is obtained by proving that some measure of noncompactness equals zero.
