Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the unboundedness of solutions of the following differential equation (φp(x′))′ + (p ? 1)[αφp(x+) ? βφp(x?)] = f(x)x′ + g(x) + h(x) + e(t) where φp(u) = |u|p? 2 u, p > 1, x± = max {±x, 0}, α and β are positive constants satisfying with m, n ∈ N and (m, n) = 1, f and g are continuous and bounded functions such that limx→±∞g(x) ? g(±∞) exists and h has a sublinear primitive, e(t) is 2πp‐periodic and continuous.
