Abstract: The nonlinear system of first-order differential equations with a deviating argument
x(t)=Bx(t)+F(x(t-τ))+p(t)
is considered,where x(t)∈R2,τ∈R,B∈R2×2,F is bounded and p(t)is continuous and 2π-periodic.Some sufficient conditions for the existence of 2π-periodic solutions of the above equation,in a resonance case,by using the Brouwer degree theory and a continuation theorem based on Mawhin's co incidence degree are obtained.Some applications of the main results to Duffing's equations are also given.
