Abstract: We deal with a planar differential system of the form �egin{equation*} �egin{cases} , u' = h(t,v), \ , v' = - lambda a(t) g(u), end{cases} end{equation*} where h is T-periodic in the first variable and strictly increasing in the second variable, lambda>0, a is a sign-changing T-periodic weight function and g is superlinear. Based on the coincidence degree theory, in dependence of lambda, we prove the existence of T-periodic solutions (u,v) such that u(t)>0 for all tinmathbbR. Our results generalize and unify previous contributions about Butler's problem on positive periodic solutions for second-order differential equations (involving linear or phi-Laplacian-type differential operators).
