Periodic Solutions for Evolution Equationsby Mihai Bostan - American Mathematical Society
We study the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for evolution equations. We analyze the one-dimensional case, then for arbitrary dimensions. We consider linear symmetric operators. We prove the same results for non-linear operators.

Linearization via the Lie Derivativeby Carmen Chicone, Richard Swanson - American Mathematical Society
The proof of the Grobman-Hartman linearization theorem for a flow at a hyperbolic rest point proceeds by establishing the analogous result for hyperbolic fixed points of local diffeomorphisms. We present a proof that avoids the discrete case.
