In this paper, we study the existence of positive periodic solutions to the equation x″ = f (t, x). It is proved that such a equation has more than one positive periodic solution when the nonlinearity changes sign. The proof relies on a fixed point theorem in cones.

Abstract We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the second-order differential equation with variable potentials {-(px^{\prime})^{\prime}(t)-r(t)p(t)x^{\prime}(t)+q(t)x(t)=f(t,x(t))} , where the functions {p(t)>0} , {q(t)} , {r(t)} and {f(t,x)} are {\mathcal{C}^{2}} and T-periodic in the variable t.
