Abstract
We present an existence and localization result for periodic solutions of second-order non-linear coupled planar systems, without requiring periodicity for the non-linearities. The arguments for the existence tool are based on a variation of the Nagumo condition and the Topological Degree Theory. The localization tool is based on a technique of orderless upper and lower solutions, that involves functions with translations. We apply our result to a system of two coupled Van der Pol oscillators with a forcing component.
