Resonance in Undamped Second-order Nonlinear Equations with Periodic Forcing

where g and p are real valued functions continuous on the reals R , p(t+2n) = p(t), and the solutions of (1) are uniquely determined by their initial conditions. If g is nonlinear, the question of whether all solutions of (1) are bounded on R has long been recognized as nontrivial and challenging. For the special case of g(x) = 2x Morris [1] was able to show that this question has an affirmativ...

Periodic solutions for nonlinear second-order difference equations

We establish conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear, second-order difference equations of the form y(t + 2) + by(t + 1) + cy(t) = f (y(t)), where c = 0 and f :R→ R is continuous. In our main result we assume that f exhibits sublinear growth and that there is a constant β > 0 such that u f (u) > 0 whenever |u| ≥ β. For such an equation we prove that ifN is an odd integer...

Periodic Solutions of Second Order Nonlinear Functional Difference Equations

The development of the study of periodic solution of functional difference equations is relatively rapid. There has been many approaches to study periodic solutions of difference equations, such as critical point theory, fixed point theorems in Banach spaces or in cones of Banach spaces, coincidence degree theory, KaplanYorke method, and so on, one may see [3-7,11,13-15] and the references ther...
