Periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations with general nonlinearities

Abstract: We prove the existence of small amplitude periodic solutions, with strongly irrational frequency

o m

close to one, for completely resonant nonlinear wave equations. We provide multiplicity results for both monotone and nonmonotone nonlinearities. For

o m

close to one we prove the existence of a large number

N_{o} m

of

2 p i s l a s h o m

-periodic in time solutions

u_{1}, ..., u_{n}, ..., u_{N}

:

N_{o} m o + i n f t y

as

o m o 1

. The minimal period of the

n

-th solution

u_{n}

is proved to be

2 p i s l a s h n o m

. The proofs are based on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and variational arguments.
