Abstract In this paper, under some ordered conditions, we investigate the existence of positive ω-periodic solutions for a class of second-order neutral functional differential equations with delayed derivative in nonlinearity of the form (x(t) − cx(t − δ))″ + a(t)g(x(t))x(t) = λb(t)f(t, x(t), x(t − τ 1(t)), x′(t − τ 2(t))). By utilizing the perturbation method of a positive operator and the fixed point index theory in cones, some sufficient conditions are established for the existence as well as the non-existence of positive ω-periodic solutions.

The existence results of positiveω-periodic solutions are obtained for the second-order functional differential equation with multiple delaysu″(t)+a(t)u(t)=f(t,u(t),u(t−τ1(t)),…,u(t−τn(t))), wherea(t)∈C(ℝ)is a positiveω-periodic function,f:ℝ×[0,+∞)n+1→[0,+∞)is a continuous function which isω-periodic int, andτ1(t),…,τn(t)∈C(ℝ,[0,+∞))areω-periodic functions. The existence conditions concern the first eigenvalue of the associated linear periodic boundary problem. Our discussion is based on the fixed-point index theory in cones.
