AbstractBy the use of a generalized version of the Poincaré-Birkhoff fixed point theorem, we prove the existence of at least two periodic solutions for a class of Hamiltonian systems in the plane, having in mind the forced pendulum equation as a particular case. Our approach is closely related to the one used by Franks in [15], but the proof remains at a more elementary level.

AbstractMany known properties of the forced pendulum equation are generic. This means that they hold on a residual set of forcings. The classical duality category/measure inspires the main question in the paper: are these properties also valid for a prevalent set of forcings? This is the case for a key property: the non-degeneracy of periodic solutions. The main tool in the proof is a prevalent version of the parametric transversality theorem.

Toplogical shooting is a method for proving existence of solutions to certain types of problems in ordinary differential equations. We show how one-dimensional shooting provides an elementary proof that particular equations have solutions which exhibit properties associated with “chaos.” After an introductory illustration of how the method works for a forced pendulum equation, we outline a proof that the Lorenz equations have behavior typical of chaotic systems. Until 1993, there had been no rigorous proof that the Lorenz equations have any kind of chaotic behavior.
