Quasi-periodic solutions in nonlinear asymmetric oscillations (Q2454952)

Let \(p>1\), \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(\alpha\), \(\beta>0\) satisfy \(\alpha^{-\frac1p}+\beta^{-\frac1p}=\frac2n\), and \(\phi_p(u)=| u| ^{p-2}u\). Let \(g\in C^1(\mathbb R)\) be bounded and \(h\) be piece-wise two times differentiable and \(2\pi_p\)-periodic with \(\pi_p=\frac{2\pi}{p\sin(\pi/p)}.\) This paper considers the nonlinear ordinary differential equation \[ (p-1)^{-1}(\phi_p(x'))'+[\alpha \phi_p(x^+)-\beta\phi_p(x^-)]+g(x)=h(t), \] where \(x^\pm:=\max\{\pm x, 0\}\). Under some further assumptions, it is proved that there exists an \(\varepsilon_0>0\) such that for each rational \(\omega\in (n, n+\varepsilon_0)\), the equation has a solution \((x_\omega(t),x'_\omega(t))\) such that \((x_\omega(t+2i\pi),x'_\omega(t+2i\pi))\) \((1\leq i\leq m-1)\) are mutually unlinked period solutions of periodic \(2m\pi\) and \(\lim_{\omega\to n}\min_{t\in\mathbb R}(| x_\omega(t)| +| x'_\omega(t)| )=+\infty\).
