On the existence of periodic solutions for \(p\)-Laplacian generalized Liénard equation (Q703409)

The authors consider a generalized Liénard ODE of second order with variable terms and a variable `shifted' argument. They establish an abstract non-constructive existence theorem for periodic solutions within the framework of Banach space theory. The key of the proof is based on the extension of the linear operator equation \(Lx=0\) to the nonlinearly perturbed case \(Lx=Nx\) (`Continuation principle'). No concrete equation is solved, and no uniqueness theorem is formulated.
