Abstract/Summary:
We investigate the existence and multiplicity of stationary solutions for a Wilson-Cowan non-local neural model. The types of solutions we study include periodic orbits and N-bump homoclinic solutions. To prove the existence of these solutions, a topological shooting method is developed and applied to an equivalent fourth order ODE. To implement the shooting method we develop appropriate estimates and functionals.
