Existence of solutions to second order ordinary differential equations having finite limits at $\pm\infty$

Cezar Avramescu & Cristian Vladimirescu

Abstract:
In this article, we study the boundary-value problem
$$ \ddot{x}=f(t,x,\dot{x}), \quad x(-\infty )=x(+\infty ), \quad \dot{x}(-\infty) = \dot{x}(+\infty ) =0\,. $$
Under adequate hypotheses and using the Bohnenblust-Karlin fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings, we establish the existence of solutions.
