Series solutions of some anharmonic motion equations (Q1849181)

The following class of nonlinear oscillators \[ {d^2u\over dt^2}+ f(u)= \varepsilon g(t),\quad u(0)= a_0,\quad u'(0)= 0, \] is under consideration -- the restoring term \(t\equiv f(u)\) is dependent on \(u\), the function \(g\equiv g(t)\) is dependent on \(u\) and it is a \(2T\)-periodic function, and \(\varepsilon\) is a small parameter. A periodic solution with minimal period \(2T\) is under searching, when the restoring term \(f\) and \(g\) satisfy suitable conditions. The method of trigonometric series is used for solving corresponding differential equations, and the existence of a periodic solution is proved.
