Abstract

In this paper we study the existence of multiple periodic solutions of second-order ordinary differential equations. New results of multiplicity of periodic solutions are obtained when the nonlinearity may cross multiple consecutive eigenvalues. The arguments are proceeded by a combination of variational and degree theoretic methods.

Keywords: periodic solutions, ordinary differential equations, resonance, variational method, Leray-Schauder degree
