Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method to find the periodic solutions of differential equations. The key technique is to convert the problem of finding periodic solutions of differential equations into an optimization problem. Then by solving the corresponding optimization problem, we can find the periodic solutions of differential equations. Finally, some numerical results are presented to illustrate the utility of the technique.
