The periodic Ambrosetti-Prodi problem for nonlinear perturbations of the \(p\)-Laplacian (Q2502560)

An Ambrosetti-Prodi-type result is obtained for the periodic solution of the equation \[ (| u'| ^{p-2}u')'+f(u)u'+g(x,u)=t, \] where \(f\) is arbitrary and \(g(x, u)\rightarrow +\infty\) or \(g(x, u)\rightarrow -\infty\) when \(| u| \rightarrow \infty.\) The proof of the main result uses upper and lower solutions and the Leray-Schauder degree.
