Periodic solutions of singular radially symmetric systems with superlinear growth (Q415447)

The authors prove the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions of a forced radially symmetric systems of second-order ODEs. The nonlinearity exhibits a singularity of repulsive type at the origin and has superlinear growth at infinity. The obtained solutions have periods, which are large integer multiples of the period of the forcing term. They rotate exactly once around the origin in their period time and have a fast oscillating radial component. The rather delicate proof is based on topological degree arguments.
