We consider the classical approach based on the Poincar\\'{e}-Birkhoff fixed point theorem as well as some refinements on the side of the theory of bend-twist maps and topological horseshoes. The case of complex dynamics is investigated, too.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-27T17:05:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C25", "34C28", "54H20" ], "keywords": [ "multiple periodic solutions", "one-sided sublinear systems", "poincaré-birkhoff approach", "refinement", "second order scalar ode" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
