Extract

In [6], we considered the equation

where z ∈ ℂ and the pi are real-valued functions; abstract word-problem concepts and techniques were applied to the local problem of the bifurcation of periodic solutions out of the solution Z ≡ 0. This paper is a sequel to [6]; we present an extension of certain concepts given in that paper, and give a global version of some of our word-problem results.
