This presentation introduces a methodology for generating computer-assisted proofs (CAPs) aimed at establishing the existence of solutions for nonlinear differential equations featuring non-polynomial analytic nonlinearities. Our approach combines the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm with interval arithmetic and a Newton-Kantorovich argument to effectively construct CAPs. A key highlight is the rigorous management of Fourier coefficients of the nonlinear term Fourier series, achieved through insights from complex analysis and the Discrete Poisson Summation Formula. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through two illustrative examples: firstly, proving the existence of periodic orbits in the Mackey-Glass (delay) equation, and secondly, establishing the existence of periodic localized traveling waves in the two-dimensional suspension bridge equation.
