Multiple positive solutions to superlinear periodic boundary value problems with repulsive singular forces

The existence of multiple positive solutions to superlinear periodic boundary value problems with repulsive singular forces is discussed in this paper. Our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent variable and our analysis relies on a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and on a fixed point theorem in cones.     

Multiple periodic solutions for second order systems with changing sign potential

Twist periodic solutions of second order singular differential equations

We study the twist periodic solutions of second order singular differential equations. Such twist periodic solutions are stable in the sense of Lyapunov and present much interesting dynamical features around them. The proof is based on the third-order approximation method. The estimates of periodic solutions of Ermakov-Pinney equations and the estimates on rotation numbers of Hill equations play an important role in the analysis.     

Positive periodic solutions of singular systems of first order ordinary differential equations

The existence and multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for first non-autonomous singular systems are established with superlinearity or sublinearity assumptions at infinity for an appropriately chosen parameter. The proof of our results is based on the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem in a cone.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many homoclinic solutions for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems. By using fountain theorem due to Zou, we obtain two new criteria for guaranteeing that second order Hamiltonian systems have infinitely many homoclinic solutions. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.

In this paper, by using the critical point theory, the existence of periodic and subharmonic solutions to a class of second order functional difference equations is obtained. The main approach used in our paper is variational technique and the Saddle Point Theorem. The problem is to solve the existence of periodic and subharmonic solutions of second order forward and backward difference equations.     

Global positive periodic solutions of periodic n-species competition systems

In this paper, an easily verifiable necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of positive periodic solutions of generalized n-species Lotka-Volterra type and Gilpin-Ayala type competition systems is obtained. It improves a series of the well-known sufficiency theorems in the literature about the problems mentioned above. The method is based on a well-known fixed point theorem in a cone of Banach space. This approach can be applied to more general competition systems.

On the existence and multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for first-order vector differential equation

In this paper, we consider the existence and multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for first-order vector differential equation x^′(t)+f(t,x(t))=0, a.e. t∈[0,ω] under the periodic boundary value condition x(0)=x(ω). Here ω is a positive constant, and is a Carathéodory function. Some existence and multiplicity results of positive periodic solutions are derived by using a fixed point theorem in cones.     

Weak singularities may help periodic solutions to exist

In a periodically forced semilinear differential equation with a singular nonlinearity, a weak force condition enables the achievement of new existence criteria through a basic application of Schauder's fixed point theorem. The originality of the arguments relies in that, contrary to the customary situation in the available references, a weak singularity facilitates the arguments of the proofs.
