Periodic solutions for a singular Liénard equation with indefinite weight

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2336086





In this paper, the authors study the following singular Liénard equation \[ x(t)+f(x(t))x'(t)+\frac{\alpha(t)}{x^\mu(t)}= h(t),\tag{1} \] where \(f\in C((0, +\infty), \mathbb{R})\) may have a singularity at \(x=0,\, \mu\in(0, +\infty)\) is a constant, \(\alpha\) and \(h\) are \(T\)-periodic functions with \(\alpha,\, h \in L^1 ([0, T], \mathbb{R}).\) The weight function \(\alpha\) may change sign on \([0, T].\) A new method for estimating a priori bounds of all possible positive \(T\)-periodic solutions is obtained. By using a continuation theorem of Mawhin's coincidence degree theory, some new results on the existence of positive periodic solutions for the equation (1) are established.
