Synopsis

In this paper we study the solutions of the boundary value problem

where t ∊ℝ, x ∊ ℝN, f is a continuous function of (t,x)and locally Lipschitz in x and ω is a fixed positive number and λ ∊ ℝ. By using degree theory we prove results on the existence of solutions of (*) and the dependence of such solutions on λ. We shall prove that (*) does not have an isolated solution, and study the topological properties of the components of solutions of (*).
