Infinite periodic solutions to a class of second-order Sturm-Liouville neutral differential equations (Q2470081)

The authors establish a variational structure on a suitable function space, and then use critical point theory and \(Z_2\) group index theory to obtain infinite periodic solutions to second-order Sturm-Liouville neutral delay equations of the form \[ (p(t)x'(t-s\tau))'-q(t)x(t-s\tau)+f(t, x(t), x(t-\tau), x(t-2\tau),\dots , x(t-2s\tau)) = 0. \]
