Abstract This paper is devoted to the existence of a periodic solution for ϕ-Laplacian neutral differential equation as follows $$\begin{array}{} (\phi(x(t)-cx(t-\tau))')'=f(t,x(t),x'(t)). \end{array}$$ By applications of an extension of Mawhin’s continuous theorem due to Ge and Ren, we obtain that given equation has at least one periodic solution. Meanwhile, the approaches to estimate a priori bounds of periodic solutions are different from the corresponding ones of the known literature.

A priori bounds are established for periodic solutions of a Rayleigh equation with delay and damping. Such bounds are useful since existence theorems for periodic solutions can then be obtained by means of Mawhin's continuation theorem.

We study the existence of periodic solutions u(·) for a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations depending on a real parameter s and obtain the existence of closed connected branches of solution pairs (u, s) to various classes of problems, including some cases, like the superlinear one, where there is a lack of a priori bounds. The results are obtained as a consequence of a new continuation theorem for the coincidence equation Lu=N(u, s) in normed spaces. Among the applications, we discuss also an example of existence of global branches of periodic solutions for the Ambrosetti–Prodi type problem u″+g(u)=s+ p(t), with g satisfying some asymmetric conditions.

SynopsisThis paper considers existence of periodic solutions for vector Liénard differential equationsIn our main result we writewhere Q(t, x) is a symmetric matrix and h(t, x) is sublinear. The key assumption relates the asymptotic behaviour as x →+ ∞ of the eigenvalues of Q(t, x) to the spectrum of the linear operator −d2/dt2 Several choices for Q(t, x) are considered which lead to known theorems and extend others. In the case of the Duffing equationthe assumptions are weakened.Our approach is based on Leray-Schauder's degree theory and a priori estimates.
