Periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations
This thesis is devoted to the construction of periodic solutions for partial differential equations. The study of periodic solutions was introduced by H. Poincare in the memoire he presented on the three body problem. By looking at periodic and asymptotics solutions he discovered what today we call …

Periodic Solutions of Chaotic Partial Differential Equations With Symmetries
We consider the problem of finding relative time-periodic solutions of chaotic partial differential equations with symmetries. Relative time-periodic solutions are solutions which are periodic in time, up to a transformation by an element of the equations' symmetry group. First, we work with the …

Stability of periodic solutions to nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations
We study the stability of periodic travelling wave solutions to nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations, subject to small and localized perturbations. Using the periodic Evans function technique, we analyze the spectrum of a linearized quadratic eigenvalue pencil associated with the linearized equation, …

On the Stability of Periodic Solutions of Nonlinear Dispersive Equations
Finally, we show how our results extend to other classes of dispersive equations. In particular, we derive modulational and finite-wavelength instability indices for the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (gBBM) equation, as well as the generalized Camassa-Holm equation. Moreover, we prove a …

Some New Results on Composition-Delay Equations with Asymptotically Periodic Solutions
… to higher order equations with asymptotically periodic solutions. A study of solutions to the equation $$y_n = \min \{ y_{n-k_1}-y_{n-m_1} , y_{n-k_2}-y_{n-m_2} \}$$ is presented. Related results are then obtained for a class of difference equations satisfying certain symmetry and monotonicity …
