      The author considers the classical forced pendulum equation, where the forcing term is a \(T\)-periodic function and studies the existence/nonexistence of a periodic solution with prescribed minimal period \(pT\), where \(p\) is a positive integer greater than one. By using the critical point theory and a new decomposition technique, the author obtains a better estimate of the values of a variational functional at critical points.
