On evaluation of the topological degree of the Poincare map in some singular situations

Abstract

In the paper we develop a method to evaluate the topological degree of the Poincare map of the mathematical model of narrow lagoon subject to a T-periodic forcing. Using the method developved we arrive to the conditions for the parameteres that guarantee the existence of T-periodic solutions in a given region. The difficulty towards implementing this plan is caused by the fact that the direct employing of M.A. Krasnoselski-A.I. Perov irreversibility approach leads to a singular vector field.
