The paper deals with the existence and uniqueness of 2π-periodic solutions for the odd-order ordinary differential equation
$u^{(2n+1)} = f(t,u,u',...,u^{(2n)})$,
where $f: ℝ × ℝ^{2n+1} → ℝ$ is continuous and 2π-periodic with respect to t. Some new conditions on the nonlinearity $f(t,x₀,x₁,...,x_{2n})$ to guarantee the existence and uniqueness are presented. These conditions extend and improve the ones presented by Cong [Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004), 727-732].
