Periodic solutions of some Lienard and Duffing equations (Q581723)

The problem of existence of periodical solutions of differential equations of the form \[ (1)\quad u''+f(u)u'+g(t,u)=0,\quad u(0)=u(2\pi),\quad u'=u'(2\pi), \] where f(u) is a continuous function on \({\mathbb{R}}\) and g(t,u) is a Caratheodory function subject to certain growth restrictions, is considered. Several existence theorems providing the periodic solutions of (1) in resonance and some other particular cases (i.e. for \(f(u)=const\), f(u)\(\equiv 0\) etc.) are proved.
