Highlights

  • As is well known, differential equations with singularities have a wide range of applications in physics, mechanics, and biology [1,2,3,4,5,6]

  • The paper [18] by Lazer and Solimini is a major milestone for the study of periodic problem to second-order differential equations with singularities

  • We study the periodic problem for Liénard equations with a singularity of attractive type in the case of r(t) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ∈ [0, T]

Summary

Introduction

Differential equations with singularities have a wide range of applications in physics, mechanics, and biology [1,2,3,4,5,6]. The paper [18] by Lazer and Solimini is a major milestone for the study of periodic problem to second-order differential equations with singularities. The existence of periodic solutions was investigated for the singular equations x (t) + xα(t) = h(t) (1.1). (the singularity of attractive type) and x (t) – = h(t) (1.2) xα (t). (the singularity of repulsive type), where h : R → R is a continuous periodic function. Together with the method of lower and upper functions, they obtained that a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of positive periodic.
