    The author proves the following result: Let \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) be \(C^{2}\)-functions on \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) satisfying \(\Lambda(V)(n)=\) the lowest eigenvalue of \(V^{''}(x)\to\infty\) as \(|{x}|\to\infty\) and let \(h\) be a \(C^{1}\)-function on \(S^{1}\) satisfying \(h\in{C^{1}}\), \(h^{'}(t)\neq{0}\) whenever \(h(t)=0\). Set \(h_{-}(t)=\min\{0,h(t)\}\), \(h_{+}(t)=\max\{0,h(t)\}\). Then, \[ -\ddot{x}-\lambda x=h_{-}(t)V_{1}^{'}(x)+h_{+}(t)V_{2}^{'}(x)\tag{1} \] has a nonzero \(2\pi\)-periodic solution if either \(\lambda\notin\sigma(S^{1})\) and \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) satisfy \(|{V_{1}^{'}(x)}|=|{V_{2}^{'}(x)}|=O(|{x}|)\), \(|{x}|\rightarrow{0}\), or there is a symmetric neighborhood \(U\) of \(0\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) such that \(V_{1}(-x)=V_{1}(x)\), \(V_{2}(-x)=V_{2}(x)\), \(x\in{U}\). Moreover, if \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) are even in \(x\), then (1) has an unbounded sequence of \(2\pi\)-periodic solutions. For Part I see the review above.
