\section{Introduction}

In this paper we consider the existence of periodic solutions
for the wave equation
\begin{equation} \label{P}
\begin{gathered}
    \Box u = \alpha u + \beta u_{x}- \gamma u_{t} + g(x,t,u) + h(x,t)
\quad \text{in }Q, \\
    u(x,t + 2\pi) = u(x,t)   \quad \text{in }]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}, \\
    u(0,t) = u(\pi,t) = 0   \quad \forall t\in\mathbb{R},
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
 where $Q=]0,\pi[\times]0,2\pi[$,
$\Box=\frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial t^{2}}-\frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial
x^{2}}$ is the D'Alembertian,
$(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$,
$h$ is a given function in $L^{2}(Q)$, and
$g:]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R} \to\mathbb{R}$
is $2\pi$-periodic in $t$ and a Carath\'eodory function
(i.e. measurable in $(x,t)$ for each $s\in\mathbb{R}$ and continuous in
$s$ for almost all $(x,t)\in Q$).

We are interested in the nonresonance for the problem \eqref{P} (i.e. in the condition for the
function $g$ such that there exist a solution $u\in L^{2}(Q)$ for
any given $h\in L^{2}(Q))$.
We will assume that g satisfies the following conditions:
\begin{itemize}

\item[(C1)]  $g(x,t,s)$ is nondecreasing in $s$;

\item[(C2)] for $s\neq r$, $(x,t)\in Q$, we have
$$
e^{\beta\frac{x}{2}} \big(\frac{g(x,t,r)-g(x,t,s)}{r-s}\big)\geq
\frac{\beta^{2}}{4}- \alpha;
$$

\item[(C3)] for all $R>0$, there exists $\phi_{R}\in L^{2}(Q)$ such
that a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$,
 $$
\max_{|s|\leq R}|g(x,t,s)|\leq \phi_{R}(x,t);
$$

\item[(C4)] a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$, we have
\begin{align*}
\lambda_{k} - \frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{4}- \alpha
&< l(x,t):= \liminf_{|s|\to + \infty}\frac{g(x,t,s)}{s} \\
&\leq\limsup_{|s|\to +\infty}\frac{g(x,t,s)}{s}:=k(x,t)\\
&<\lambda_{k+1}-\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4} + \frac{\beta^{2}}{4} - \alpha,
\end{align*}
where $\lambda_{k}$ and $\lambda_{k+1}$ are two
consecutive eigenvalues of the D'Alembertian, and
$\sigma(\Box)$ denotes the spectrum of the D'Alembertian.
\end{itemize}

Problem \eqref{P} has been studied with conditions of resonances by
several authors mention in particular: In the case $\alpha = \beta
= \gamma = 0$ and $h = 0$ Benaoum in \cite{b1,b2}, Mustonen and Berkovits
in \cite{b3,b4,b5,b6}, and Br\'ezis and Nirenberg in \cite{b10}.
The case $g(x,t,s)
= g(s)$, has been studied by Mustonen and Berkovits in \cite{b7}.
The case $\beta = \gamma = 0$ and $\alpha$ is a eigenvalue of the
D'Alembertian operator $(\Box)$, has been studied in \cite{b5}.
The case $\beta = 0 $ and $\alpha$ is a eigenvalue of the operator $T$
defined by $T u = \Box u + \gamma u_{t}$, where $u_{t}=
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}$, has been studied in \cite{b3,b10}. In
the general case, Anane, Chakrone and Ghanim in \cite{a2}. In the case
of nonresonance, the problem  \eqref{P}  has been studied by Mustonen and
Berkovits in \cite{b4} and \cite{b8}, and by Brezis and Nirenberg in
\cite{b10} but only in particular cases. The situation that we consider here is
marked by the presence of one term of transportation
$\beta \nabla u$, what constitutes an extension of the cases studied by
Mustonen and Berkovits in \cite{b4,b8}.
 In our work, we show (see Corollary \ref{coro3.2}) while using homotopy
argument given by
 Mustonen and Berkovits in \cite{b4}, and of analogous techniques developed
 by Anane and Chakrone  in \cite{a1} for the Laplacian $(\Delta)$,
that the problem  \eqref{P}  has at least a solution for all $ h\in
L^{2}(Q)$.

\section{Remarks and notation}

Let $\delta, \mu\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $\delta < \mu$, we
introduce the following general hypothesis %$(C_{\delta, \mu})$
For a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$, we have
\begin{equation} \label{Cdm}
\begin{aligned}
\delta + \frac{\beta^{2}}{4}- \alpha
&\leq\neq l(x,t):= \liminf_{|s|\to + \infty}\frac{g(x,t,s)}{s} \\
&\leq\limsup_{|s|\to +\infty}\frac{g(x,t,s)}{s}:=k(x,t)\\
&\leq\neq \mu +\frac{\beta^{2}}{4}- \alpha
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
 The notation $\leq\neq$ means that one has an large inequality  on
$Q$ and strict on a set of measure different from zero.

\begin{remark} \label{rmk2.1} \rm
(1) We denote by  $Tu = \Box u + \gamma u_{t}$. Then
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i)] $T$ is a densely defined closed linear operator with closed range.
\item[(ii)] $\mathop{\rm Im}(T) = [\ker(T)]^{\bot}$.
\item[(ii)] $\lambda$ is a eigenvalue of the
D'Alembertian  if and only if $ \lambda - \frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}$
is a eigenvalue of $T$
\item[(iii)] If $T_{0}$ is the restriction of the operator $T$ on
$\mathop{\rm Im}(T)= T(D(T))$, with
$D(T)$ is the domain of the operator $T$, then $T_{0}$ has
compact inverse.
\end{itemize}
 For the proof of the remarks (i)--(iii), see \cite{b2}.

\noindent(2) We put $\tilde{g}(x,t,s) = (\alpha - \frac{\beta^{2}}{4})s +
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}g(x,t,e^{-\frac{\beta}{2}x}s)$  and
$\tilde{h}(x,t) = e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}h(x,t)$.
Let $N:L^{2}(Q)\to L^{2}(Q)$,
$$
N(u)=\tilde{g}(x,t,u)
$$
be the Nemytskii operator generated by the function $\tilde{g}$.
For $r\in[0,1]$, consider the operator
$ H_{r}:D(T) \subset L^{2}(Q)\to L^{2}(Q)$,
$$
H_{r}(u)= T u - r(N(u)+\tilde{h})-(1-r)\lambda u,
$$
where $\delta< \lambda< \mu$.
\begin{equation} \label{I}
\begin{aligned}
&\text{If there exists $R>0$, for all $r\in[0,1]$ and all $u\in D(T)$,}\\
&\text{with $ \|u\|= \Big(\int_{Q}|u|^{2}\Big)^{1/2}= R$,
 then $H_{r}(u)\neq 0$.}
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}

\noindent(3) If (C1) and (C2) are verified, then $\tilde{g}(x,t,s)$
is nondecreasing in $s$, thus the operator $N$ is monotone. This statement and the
following are easy to prove.

\noindent(4) Condition (C3) implies that for all $R>0$ there
exists $\tilde{\phi_{R}}\in L^{2}(Q)$ such that for a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$
we have
$$
\max_{|s|\leq R}|\tilde{g}(x,t,s)|\leq \tilde{\phi_{R}}(x,t).
$$

\noindent(5) If (C4) is verified, then for a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$, we have
$$
\lambda_{k}-\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4} < \tilde{l}(x,t):=
\liminf_{|s|\to + \infty}\frac{\tilde{g}(x,t,s)}{s}
\leq\limsup_{|s|\to
+\infty}\frac{\tilde{g}(x,t,s)}{s}:=\tilde{k}(x,t)<\lambda_{k+1}
-\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}
$$
(6) If \eqref{Cdm} is satisfied, then for a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$, we have
$$
\delta \leq\neq \tilde{l}(x,t):=
\liminf_{|s|\to + \infty}\frac{\tilde{g}(x,t,s)}{s}
\leq\limsup_{|s|\to +
\infty}\frac{\tilde{g}(x,t,s)}{s}:=\tilde{k}(x,t)\leq\neq\mu
$$
i.e. for all $\varepsilon>0$ there exists
$a_{\varepsilon}\in L^{2}(Q)$ such that for a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$,
 and all $s \in\mathbb{R}$, we have
 $$
(\tilde{l}(x,t)-\varepsilon)s^{2}-a_{\varepsilon}(x,t)|s|\leq
 s\tilde{g}(x,t,s)\leq(\tilde{k}(x,t)+\varepsilon)s^{2}
+ a_{\varepsilon}(x,t)|s|.
$$
(7) Under hypothesis (C3) and \eqref{Cdm}, there exists
$\theta>0$ and $\eta\in L^{2}(Q)$ such that  a.e. $(x,t)\in Q$,
and all $s \in\mathbb{R}$, we have
\begin{equation}
|\tilde{g}(x,t,s)|\leq \theta|s| + \eta(x,t). \label{II}
\end{equation}
\end{remark}

\begin{proposition} \label{prop2.2}
The problem \eqref{P} is equivalent to the  problem
\begin{equation} \label{tildeP}
\begin{gathered}
    T v = \tilde{g}(x,t,v) + \tilde{h}(x,t)   \quad \text{in }Q, \\
    v(x,t + 2\pi)= v(x,t)   \quad \text{in }]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}, \\
    v(0,t) = v(\pi,t)= 0  \quad \forall t \in\mathbb{R},
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
Assume that $u$ is a solution of the problem \eqref{P}.
Let $v = e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u$, it is clear
that $v$ is $2\pi$-periodic in $t$ and $v(0,t) = v(\pi,t)= 0$
$\forall t \in\mathbb{R}$. On the other hand, we have
\begin{gather*}
v_{x} =\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}=
\frac{\beta}{2}e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u +
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{x}, \\
v_{xx} =\frac{\partial^{2} v}{\partial x^{2}} = \beta
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{x} +
\frac{\beta^{2}}{4}e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u +
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{xx}, \\
 v_{t}= \frac{\partial v}{\partial t} = e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{t},
 \quad
v_{tt} = \frac{\partial^{2} v}{\partial t^{2}}
=  e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{tt};
\end{gather*}
thus
\begin{align*}
\Box v &= v_{tt} - v_{xx} \\
& = e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{tt} - \beta e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{x} -
\frac{\beta^{2}}{4}e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u -
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}u_{xx} \\
& = -\frac{\beta^{2}}{4}v +
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}( \Box u - \beta u_{x} )\\
& = (\alpha - \frac{\beta^{2}}{4})v - \gamma v_{t} +
e^{\frac{\beta}{2}x}(g(x,t,e^{-\frac{\beta}{2}x}v) + h(x,t)).
\end{align*}
Hence $ T v = \tilde{g}(x,t,v) + \tilde{h}(x,t)$, and $v$ is a
solution of the problem \eqref{tildeP}.
The reciprocal implication is demonstrated by an identical calculation.
\end{proof}

\section{Main results}

\begin{theorem} \label{thm3.1}
Assume (C1), (C2), (C3) and \eqref{Cdm}. If
$(H_{r})$ does not satisfy  \eqref{I}, then there exists
$m(x,t)\in L^{\infty}(Q)$, $v\in L^{2}(Q)\setminus \{0\}$ and
$(u_{n})\subset L^{2}(Q)$ such that $v$ is the nontrivial solution
of the problem
\begin{equation} \label{Pm}
\begin{gathered}
 T u = m(x,t)u   \quad \text{in }Q, \\
 u(x,t + 2\pi) = u(x,t)  \quad \text{in }]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}, \\
 u(0,t) = u(\pi,t) = 0  \quad \forall t\in\mathbb{R}
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
    and
\begin{gather*}
     \|u_{n}\|\to +\infty, \quad \frac{u_{n}}{\|u_{n}\|}\to v  \quad
\text{in } L^{2}(Q),\\
    \delta\leq\neq m(x,t)\leq\neq \mu \quad  \text{a.e. in } Q.
\end{gather*}
\end{theorem}

\begin{corollary} \label{coro3.2}
Assume (C1), (C2), (C3) and \eqref{Cdm}. If
there exist two consecutive eigenvalues of the D'Alembertian
$\lambda_{k}$ and $\lambda_{k+1}$ such that
 $0\leq\lambda_{k} - \frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}<\delta<\mu<\lambda_{k+1} -
\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}$, then problem \eqref{P} has at least one
solution for all $ h\in L^{2}(Q)$.
\end{corollary}

\subsection*{Proof of theorem \ref{thm3.1}}
As the proof is relatively long, we
organize it in several lemmas. Suppose that $(H_{r})$ does not
satisfy the estimate \eqref{I}, then  $ \forall n \in\mathbb{N}$,
there exist $r_{n}\in [0,1]$, and $u_{n}\in D(T)$ with $\|u_{n}\|=n $
such that
\begin{equation} \label{III}
T u_{n} - r_{n}(N(u_{n})+\tilde{h})-(1-r_{_{n}})\lambda u_{n}=0
\end{equation}
Let
$$
v_{n}=\frac{u_{n}}{\|u_{n}\|},\quad
g_{n}(x,t) = \frac{\tilde{g}(x,t,u_{n})}{\|u_{n}\|}
\quad\text{a.e. in } Q.
$$
The sequence $(v_{n})$ is bounded in $L^{2}(Q)$,
 then for subsequence $v_{n}\to v $ weakly in $L^{2}(Q)$.

\begin{lemma} \label{lem3.3}
 Assume $\eqref{II}$ and \eqref{III}.
(1) For a subsequence $g_{n}\to f$ weakly in $L^{2}(Q)$.
(2) $v_{n} \to v$ strongly in $L^{2}(Q)$, in particular,
$\|v\|=1$, thus $v \neq 0$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof} (1) Dividing \eqref{II} by $\|u_{n} \|$,
we have
$$
|g_{n}(x,t)|\leq \theta|v_{n}|+ \frac{\eta(x,t)}{n},$$
thus
$$ \|g_{n}\|\leq \theta\|v_{n}\|+\frac{\|\eta\|}{n}
  \leq\theta+\frac{\|\eta\|}{n},
$$
hence $g_{n}$ is bounded in $L^{2}(Q)$, one deduces that
for a subsequence $g_{n}\to f$ weakly in $L^{2}(Q)$.

\noindent (2) Dividing by $\|u_{n}\|$ in \eqref{III}, we have
$$
T v_{n} = r_{n}g_{n}+(1-r_{_{n}})\lambda v_{n}+
r_{n}\frac{\tilde{h}}{n}.
$$
Which implies
$$
v_{n}=(T^{-1}_{0})[r_{n}g_{n}+(1-r_{_{n}})\lambda v_{n}+
r_{n}\frac{\tilde{h}}{n}].
$$
Since $g_{n}\to f$ weakly in $L^{2}(Q)$ and $v_{n}\to v$ weakly
in $L^{2}(Q)$, then
$$
r_{n}g_{n}+(1-r_{_{n}})\lambda v_{n}+ r_{n}\frac{\tilde{h}}{n}\to
rf+(1-r)\lambda v\quad\text{weakly in } L^{2}(Q),
$$
where $r=\lim_{n} r_{n}$. The operator $T^{-1}_{0}$ is compact, thus
$$
v_{n}=(T^{-1}_{0})[r_{n}g_{n}+(1-r_{_{n}})\lambda v_{n}+
r_{n}\frac{\tilde{h}}{n}]\to (T^{-1}_{0})[rf+(1-r)\lambda
v]\quad\text{strongly in } L^{2}(Q).
$$
Therefore, $ v_{n}\to (T^{-1}_{0})[r f+(1-r)\lambda v]=v$
 strongly in $L^{2}(Q)$.
\end{proof}

\begin{lemma} \label{lem3.4}
Assume \eqref{II} and (III). Then $ f(x,t)=0$ a.e. in
$A=\{(x,t)\in Q : v(x,t)=0 \text{ a.e. in } Q\}$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Let $\psi$ be the function
 $$
\psi(x,t)= \mathop{\rm sign}(f(x,t))\chi_{A}(x,t)\text{ a.e. in } Q,
$$
where  $\chi_{A}$ is the indicatrice function.
 Since $ g_{n} \to f$ weakly in $L^{2}(Q)$, we
 have $\int_{Q}g_{n}\psi \to \int_{Q}f\psi = \int_{A}|f(x,t)|$.
On the other hand, as $v_{n}\to v$, and
 using \eqref{II}, we have
$$
\big|\int_{Q}g_{n}\psi \big|\leq\int_{Q}|g_{n}\psi|
\leq\theta\int_{Q}|v_{n}\chi_{A}|+\int_{Q}\frac{\eta(x,t)\chi_{A}}{n}
 \to \theta \int_{Q}|v|\chi_{A} =  0,
$$
thus
$ \int_{A}|f(x,t)|=0$  and $f=0$ a.e.  in $A$.
\end{proof}

We define the function
$$
d(x,t)=\begin{cases}
    \frac{f(x,t)}{v(x,t)}&\text{ a.e. in } Q\setminus A, \\
    \lambda     & \text{ a.e. in } A.
\end{cases}
$$

\begin{lemma} \label{lem3.5}
If one supposes \eqref{II} ,\eqref{III} and  \eqref{Cdm}, then
$\delta \leq d(x,t)\leq\mu $ a.e. in $Q$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
We prove that $ \delta\leq d(x,t)$ a.e.
in $Q$. We denote
$B=\{(x,t)\in Q : \delta(v(x,t))^{2}>v(x,t)f(x,t)
\text{ a.e.}\}$.
It is sufficient to prove that $ \mathop{\rm meas}B=0$. Under condition
\eqref{Cdm} (cf. Remark \ref{rmk2.1}. No. 5), we have
$$
(\delta-\varepsilon)u_{n}^{2}-a_{\varepsilon}(x,t)|u_{_{n}}|\leq
u_{n}\tilde{g}(x,t,u_{n}).
$$
Dividing by $\|u_{n}\|^{2}$, we get
$$
(\delta-\varepsilon)v_{n}^{2}- a_{\varepsilon}(x,t)
\frac{|v_{n}|}{n}\leq v_{n}g_{n}(x,t).
$$
Multiplying by $\chi_{B}$ and integrating, we get
\begin{equation} \label{IV}
(\delta-\varepsilon)\int_{Q}v_{n}^{2}\chi_{B} -
\int_{_{Q}}\frac{a_{\varepsilon}(x,t)}{n}|v_{n}|\chi_{B}
\leq\int_{Q}v_{n}\chi_{B}g_{n}(x,t).
\end{equation}

Under conditions \eqref{II} and \eqref{III}, $g_{n}\to f$ weakly in
$L^{2}(Q)$ and $ v_{n}\to v$  strongly in $L^{2}(Q)$.
Going to the limit in $(IV)$, we have
$$
(\delta-\varepsilon)\int_{Q}|v(x,t)|^{2}\chi_{B}
\leq\int_{Q}v(x,t)f(x,t)\chi_{B}.
$$
Since $\varepsilon$ is arbitrary, one concludes that
$$
\int_{Q}[v(x,t)f(x,t)-\delta|v(x,t)|^{2}]\chi_{B}\geq 0.
$$
Therefore, by the definition of B, $\mathop{\rm meas}B=0$.
 By an analogous method, we prove that $ d(x,t)\leq\mu$ a.e. in $Q$.
\end{proof}

\begin{lemma} \label{lem3.6}
If one supposes \eqref{II}, (III) and \eqref{Cdm}, then
\begin{gather*}
    T v = m(x,t)v   \quad \text{in }Q, \\
    v(x,t + 2\pi) = v(x,t)  \quad \text{in }]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}, \\
    v(0,t) = v(\pi,t) = 0   \quad  \forall t\in\mathbb{R},
\end{gather*}
where $m(x,t)=rd(x,t)+(1-r)\lambda$ and $r=\lim_{n}r_{n}$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{remark} \label{rmk3.7} \rm
It is easy to see that $m(x,t)$ is  $2\pi$-periodic in $t$, and
$\delta\leq m(x,t)\leq\mu $  a.e. in $Q$.
\end{remark}

\begin{proof} In the proof of the Lemma \ref{lem3.3}, we
have
$r f+(1-r)\lambda v = T v$. From the definition of the
function $m$, we have $T v = m v $.
\end{proof}

 It remains to prove only the following lemma.

\begin{lemma} \label{lem3.8}
If one supposes \eqref{II}, \eqref{III} and \eqref{Cdm}, then
$$
\delta\leq\neq m(x,t)\leq\neq\mu \quad\text{a.e.  in } Q .
$$
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof} We prove that $ m(x,t)\leq\neq\mu$ a.e.
in $Q$. (By analogous method, we prove that $\delta\leq\neq
m(x,t)$ a.e. in $Q$).
Suppose by contradiction that $ m(x,t)=\mu $  a.e. in $Q$.
Under assumption \eqref{Cdm}, we have
\begin{equation} \label{V}
v_{n}g_{n}\leq(\tilde{k}(x,t)+\varepsilon)v_{n}^{2}+
\frac{a_{\varepsilon}|v_{n}|}{n},
\end{equation}
where
$\tilde{k}(x,t)\in L^{\infty}(Q)$ such that
$\tilde{k}(x,t)\leq\neq\mu$. By $(V)$, we have
\begin{equation} \label{VI}
\begin{aligned}
&\int_{Q}r_{n}g_{n}v_{n}+(1-r_{n})\lambda v_{n}^{2}+
r_{n}\int_{Q}\frac{\tilde{h}v_{n}}{n} \\
&\leq \int_{Q}[r_{n}(\tilde{k}(x,t)+\varepsilon)+(1-r_{n})\lambda]
v_{n}^{2}+ r_{n}\int_{Q}(\tilde{h}\frac{v_{n}}{n}+
a_{\varepsilon}\frac{|v_{n}|}{n}).
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
Under conditions \eqref{II} and
\eqref{III}, $g_{n}\to f$ weakly in $L^{2}(Q)$ and $v_{n}\to v$
strongly in $L^{2}(Q)$.
 Going to the limit in $(V)$, we get
$$
\int_{Q}[r(fv) + (1-r)\lambda v^{2}]
\leq \int_{Q}[r(\tilde{k}(x,t)+\varepsilon) +
(1-r)\lambda]v^{2}.
$$
By the definition of $m$, we have
$$
\int_{Q}[r(fv) + (1-r)\lambda v^{2}] = \int_{Q}m(x,t)v^{2}=
\int_{Q}\mu v^{2}.
$$
Thus
$$
\int_{Q}\mu v^{2}\leq
\int_{Q}[r(\tilde{k}(x,t) + \varepsilon)+(1-r)\lambda]v^{2}.
$$
Since $\varepsilon$ is arbitrary, we have
$$
\int_{Q}\mu v^{2}\leq
\int_{Q}[r\tilde{k}(x,t)+(1-r)\lambda]v^{2}.
$$
Hence
$$ \int_{Q}[\mu-r\tilde{k}(x,t)-(1-r)\lambda]v^{2}\leq 0.
$$
Since $\tilde{k}(x,t)\leq \mu$ a.e. in $Q$
and $\lambda < \mu$, we have
$\mu - r\tilde{k}(x,t)-(1-r)\lambda\geq0$, then
$$
\int_{Q}[\mu-r\tilde{k}(x,t)-(1-r)\lambda]v^{2}=0.
$$
Therefore,
$[\mu-r\tilde{k}(x,t)-(1-r)\lambda]v^{2}=0$ a.e. in $Q$.
Since $m(x,t)=\mu$ a.e. in $Q$, by the definition of the function of $d$,
$(d(x,t)\neq \lambda)$, we have
$\mathop{\rm meas}A =0$ (i.e. $v(x,t)\neq0$ a.e. in $Q$).
Thus, $\mu=r \tilde{k}(x,t)+(1-r)\lambda$ a.e. in $Q$, this
contradiction completes the proof.
\end{proof}

For the proof of Corollary \ref{coro3.2} we
will need the following two lemmas.

\begin{lemma}[\cite{b4}] \label{lem3.9}
Assume (C1), (C2), \eqref{II},
$\lambda\in\sigma(T)$ and $ \lambda\geq 0$.
Let $\tilde{h}\in L^{2}(Q)$, if there exist $R>0$ such that
$$
T u - r(N(u)+\tilde{h})-(1-r)\lambda u \neq 0, \quad
\forall u\in D(T),\; \|u\|=R,\; 0\leq r\leq1,
$$
then  problem \eqref{tildeP} admits at least one solution
$u\in D(T)$ with $\|u\|<R$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
By \eqref{II}, (C1) and (C2), $N$ is continuous and monotone;
therefore the result ensues while using by the homotopy studied in
\cite{b4}.
\end{proof}

\begin{lemma} \label{lem3.10}
If there exists two reals $\delta$ and $\mu$ such that
\begin{equation} \label{VII}
\delta\leq m(x,t)\leq\mu \quad \text{a.e. in $Q$ with }
[\delta,\mu]\cap\sigma(T)=\emptyset,
\end{equation}
then the problem \eqref{Pm} has only the trivial solution.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof} Let $c\in[\delta,\mu]$ be arbitrary
with
$$
\frac{\max(|\mu-c|,|\delta-c|)}{\mathop{\rm dist}(c,\sigma(T))}<1
$$
(for example, $c=(\delta + \mu)/2)$. Then the operator $T - cI$
is invertible and
$$
\|(T-cI)^{-1}\|=\frac{1}{\mathop{\rm dist}(c,\sigma(T))}.
$$
 Hence for all $u\in D(T)$,
$$
\|T u-cu\|\geq dis(c,\sigma(T))\|u\|.
$$
Assume now that $u\in D(T)$ is a solution of the problem \eqref{Pm}.
Then $\|T u-cu\|\ = \|mu-cu\|$. Therefore,
$$
\|u\|\leq \frac{\|mu-cu\|}{\mathop{\rm dist}(c,\sigma(T))}.
$$
On the other hand, by \eqref{VII},
$$
|mu-cu|=|m-c||u| \leq \max(|\mu - c|,|c - \delta|)|u|
$$
which implies $\|mu-cu\|\leq \max(|\mu - c|,|c - \delta|)\|u\|$.
Thus
$$
\|u\|\leq \frac{\max(|\mu - c|,|c -
\delta|)}{\mathop{\rm dist}(c,\sigma(T))}\|u\|.
$$
Since $\max(|\mu-c|,|\delta-c|)/\mathop{\rm dist}(c,\sigma(T))<1$,
it follows that $u=0$.
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Proof of corollary \ref{coro3.2}]
 Suppose by contradiction that the problem \eqref{P} does not admit a solution.
Thus by proposition \ref{prop2.2}, \eqref{tildeP} does not admit a solution. Hence
by lemma \ref{lem3.9}, the homotopy $(H_{r})$ does not satisfy the estimate
\eqref{I}. And by Theorem \ref{thm3.1}, there exists $m(x,t)\in L^{\infty}(Q),
v\in L^{2}(Q)\setminus \{0\}$ such that v is the nontrivial
solution of the problem \eqref{Pm} and $\delta\leq\neq
m(x,t)\leq\neq \mu$      a.e. in $Q$. Since
  $0\leq\lambda_{k}-\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}<\delta<\mu<\lambda_{k+1}-
\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}$, where $\lambda_{k}- \frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}$
and $\lambda_{k+1}- \frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}$ are  two positive
consecutive eigenvalues of $T$ (cf. Remark \ref{rmk2.1} No. 1.ii),
what is in contradiction with Lemma \ref{lem3.10}.
Thus the proof is complete.
\end{proof}

\begin{remark} \label{rmk3.11} \rm
(1) We have an analogous result, if in Corollary \ref{coro3.2}
$\lambda_{k}$ and $\lambda_{k+1}$ are two consecutive eigenvalues
of the D'Alembertian such that
$\lambda_{k} - \frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}<\delta<\mu<\lambda_{k+1} -
\frac{\gamma^{2}}{4}\leq0$, while replacing the operator $T$
by $(-T)$.

\noindent(2) Note that if $\mu=0$, $ \delta=0$ and $\gamma=0$, we recover a
result on the existence of the periodic solutions with conditions
of non resonance of the problem
\begin{gather*}
    \Box u = g(x,t,u) + h(x,t) \quad \text{in }Q, \\
    u(x,t + 2\pi) = u(x,t)  \quad \text{in }]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}, \\
    u(0,t) = u(\pi,t) = 0  \quad \forall t\in\mathbb{R}
\end{gather*}

\noindent(3) Note that if $\mu=0$, and $ \delta=0$, we recover a
result on the existence of the periodic solutions with conditions
of non resonance of the telegraph equation
\begin{gather*}
    \Box u = \gamma u_{t} + g(x,t,u) + h(x,t)   \quad \text{in }Q, \\
    u(x,t + 2\pi) = u(x,t)  \quad \text{in }]0,\pi[\times\mathbb{R}, \\
    u(0,t) = u(\pi,t) = 0  \quad \forall t\in\mathbb{R} \\
\end{gather*}
\end{remark}
