In this note we prove some sufficient condition for the existence of homocl
inic solutions in nonautonomous ODE's. As an application we show that there
exist infinitely many (geometrically distinct) homoclinic solutions to the
trivial 0 solution in the planar system z = (Z) over bar(1 + E-ikt\z\(2))
for 0 < kappa sufficiently small. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification:
