Abstract
The paper deals with periodic solutions for an integral equation from biomathematics, via the Leray-Schauder principle.
The results obtained here refer to the existence, the uniqueness and monotone-iterative approximation of the nontrivial periodic solutions of the integral equation
\[
x(t)=\int_{-t}^t f(s,x(s))ds
\]
The proofs are based on the continuation Leray-Schauder principle and on the monotone iterations technique.
