Abstract

We study the existence of a periodic solution for some partial functional differential equations. We assume that the linear part is nondensely defined and satisfies the Hille-Yosida condition. In the nonhomogeneous linear case, we prove the existence of a periodic solution under the existence of a bounded solution. In the nonlinear case, using a fixed-point theorem concerning set-valued maps, we establish the existence of a periodic solution.
