Existence of solutions to first-order periodic boundary value problems

This article investigates the existence of solutions to boundary value problems (BVPs) involving systems of first-order ordinary differential equations and two-point, periodic boundary conditions. The methods involve novel differential inequalities and fixed-point theory to yield new theorems guaranteeing the existence of at least one solution.
