## Existence of a period two solution of a delay differential equation

We consider the existence of a symmetric periodic solution for the following distributed delay differential equation
 $x^{\prime}(t) = -f\left(\int_{0}^{1}x(t-s)ds\right),$
where
 $f(x) = r\sin x$
with
 $r>0$
. It is shown that the well studied second order ordinary differential equation, known as the nonlinear pendulum equation, derives a symmetric periodic solution of period
 $2$
, expressed in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions, for the delay differential equation. We here apply the approach in Kaplan and Yorke (1974) for a differential equation with discrete delay to the distributed delay differential equation.
