We study the existence of quasi-periodic solutions to differential equations with piecewise constant argument (EPCA, for short). It is shown that EPCA with periodic perturbations possess a quasi-periodic solution and no periodic solution. The appearance of quasi-periodic rather than periodic solutions is due to the piecewise constant argument. This new phenomenon illustrates a crucial difference between ODE and EPCA. The results are extended to nonlinear equations. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
