Abstract
Abstract The present paper concerns the periodic problem u ″ = p ( t ) u − q ( t , u ) u + f ( t ) ; u ( 0 ) = u ( ω ) , u ′ ( 0 ) = u ′ ( ω ) , $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle u''=p(t)u-q(t,u)u+f(t);\quad u(0)=u(\omega),\, u'(0)=u'(\omega), \end{array}$$ where p, f : [0, ω] → ℝ are Lebesgue integrable functions and q : [0, ω] × ℝ → ℝ is a Carathéodory function. We assume that the anti-maximum principle holds for the corresponding linear problem and provide sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution to the given non-linear problem. The general results obtained are applied to the non-autonomous Duffing type equation with a super-linear power non-linearity.
