Positive periodic solutions and eigenvalue intervals for systems of second order differential equations

In this paper, we employ a well‐known fixed point theorem for cones to study the existence of positive periodic solutions to the n ‐dimensional system x ″ + A (t)x = H (t)G (x). Moreover, the eigenvalue intervals for x ″ + A (t)x = λH (t)G (x) are easily characterized. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Rotating periodic solutions for super-linear second order Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we consider a class of super-linear second order Hamiltonian systems. We use Morse theory to obtain the existence and multiplicity of rotating periodic solutions, which might be periodic, subharmonic or quasi-periodic ones.     

Periodic solutions of singular second order equations at resonance

In this paper, we study the existence of positive periodic solutions for singular second order equations x" + n²/4x+h(x) = p(t), where h has a singularity at the origin and n is a positive integer. We give an explicit condition to ensure the existence of positive periodic solutions when h is an unbounded perturbation at infinity by using qualitative analysis and topological degree theory.     

Rotating periodic solutions for second‐order dynamical systems with singularities of repulsive type

In this paper, we study the following second‐order dynamical system: where c ?0 is a constant, and . When g admits a singularity at zero of repulsive type without the restriction of strong force condition, we apply the coincidence degree theory to prove that the system admits nonplanar collisionless rotating periodic solutions taking the form u (t  + T ) = Q u (t ), with T  > 0 and Q an orthogonal matrix under the assumption of Landesman–Lazer type.

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

This paper deals with the multiplicity of solutions of a second order nonautonomous system. We extend a previous result of the author relaxing the assumptions on the sign of the 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.

Remarks on the paper “Controllability of second order differential inclusion in Banach spaces” [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 285 (2003) 537-550]

An error is pointed out in the paper [J.R. Kang, Y.C. Kwun, J.Y. Park, Controllability of second order differential inclusion in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 285 (2003) 537-550]. By an additional condition the considered system is controllable.     

Infinitely many homoclinic solutions for some second order Hamiltonian systems

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.
