Abstract: In this note we show that the existence of a periodic segment for a non-autonomous ODE with periodic coefficients implies the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions inside this segment provided that a sequence of Lefschetz numbers of iterations of an associated map is not constant. In the case when this sequence is bounded we have to impose a geometric condition on the segment to get solutions by use of symbolic dynamics.
