Summary

Introduction

It is well known that the critical point theory is a powerful tool to deal with the multiplicity of periodic solutions to ordinary differential systems as well as partial differential equations (see [ – ]). In , Li and He [ ] first applied the critical point theory to study the multiplicity of periodic solutions for delay differential equations. In the past several years, some results on the existence of periodic solutions for the functional differential equation have been obtained by the critical point theory (see [ – ]). Most of these functional differential equations are autonomous, the results on the non-autonomous functional differential equations are relatively few (see [ , ]). We denote by TS the topology on E induced by the semi-norm family {ps}, and let ω and ω* denote the weak-topology and weak*-topology, respectively. ∂y and H(t, x, y) ∈ C (R × R , R)

Then we have
Then E has an orthogonal decomposition
Proof First we define an operator
