Abstract:
Given an isolated periodic solution (limit cycle) $p = p(x,t)$ of a parabolic differential equation in a variable $u = u(x,t)$, local coordinates $(s = s(t),\;w = w(x,t))$ are introduced so that $w = 0,\;s = t +$ constant corresponds to $u = p$, and the equations for $s,\;w$ are of the form $ds/dt = 1 +$ higher-order terms, and $w$ satisfies the variational equation for $p$ on a subspace of codimension one. It is indicated how the method applies to ordinary differential equations, as motivation, and to hyperbolic equations, as an obvious extension.References
