The nonlinear damped wave equation \[ u_{tt}- \Delta_X u-u_{YY}= -\alpha u-\beta u_t+ g(t,X,Y,u) \] in the thin domain \(Q_\varepsilon= \Omega\times (0,\varepsilon)\subset \mathbb{R}^{N+1}\), \(\varepsilon> 0\), \(\Omega\) smooth bounded domain, with Neumann boundary condition \({\partial u\over\partial\nu_\varepsilon}= 0\) on \(\partial Q_\varepsilon\), is considered. Here \(\alpha,\beta> 0\) and \(g\) satisfies growth conditions (in the derivatives). Sufficient conditions are given for either bifurcation (of periodic solutions) or not bifurcation with respect to \(\varepsilon= 0\) (\(\varepsilon\) measures the thinness of the domain). Results are proved by using the Poincaré map and its linearization and exploiting the fact that they are condensing with respect to suitable measures of non-compactness in a scale of function spaces. Degree theory for condensing maps is then applied. This follows a series of papers on periodic solutions for damped wave equations by the authors.
