Existence of positive periodic solutions for neutral Lienard differential equations with a singularity

Fanchao Kong, Shiping Lu, Zaitao Liang

Abstract:
By applying Mawhin's continuation theorem, we study the existence of positive periodic solutions for a second-order neutral functional differential equation
$$ ((x(t)-cx(t-\sigma)))''+f(x(t)) x'(t)+g(t,x(t-\delta))=e(t), $$
where g has a strong singularity at x=0 and satisfies a small force condition at $ x=\infty$, which is different from the corresponding ones known in the literature.
