About the notion of non-$T$-resonance and applications to topological multiplicity results for ODEs on differentiable manifolds

Abstract

By using topological methods, mainly the degree of a tangent vector field, we establish multiplicity results for $T$-periodic solutions of parametrized $T$-periodic perturbations of autonomous ODEs on a differentiable manifold $M$. In order to provide insights into the key notion of $T$-resonance, we consider the elementary situations $M = \mathbb{R}$ and $M = \mathbb{R}^2$. So doing, we provide more comprehensive analysis of those cases and find improved conditions.
