The author shows there are periodic solutions of periodic systems \(- x'+f(t,x,y)=p(t)\), \(y'+g(t,x,y)=q(t)\) under various sign and growth conditions. These results follow from analysis of nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. Abstract theorems use techniques of alternative methods and Leray-Schauder-Mawhin continuation: the latter involves a priori estimates derived from hypothesized operator estimates. It seems possible to alter the results to allow the removal of the assumption that p, q have mean value zero. In the proofs found in the first section, the author implicitly assumes that (\(\bullet\),\(\bullet)\) is positive definite on \(X_ 2\); this causes no difficulty in the second section. It seems to the reviewer that for Corollary 2.4 to imply Corollary 2.5 one must assume \(\int^{T}_{0}\Gamma (t)dt<-T+1/4\) in the latter. The paper is written well and almost completely self-contained.
