1 INTRODUCTION
We consider here ordinary differential equations of the form
u (m) = .Xu + p(t)g(u) - e /(t) {1.1)
where .X and e are real parameters, P,/ EC ([o, + oo], R) g EC (R,R) . Our
purpose is tc• obtain existence of w - periodic solutions of (1.1). We shall first consider a periodic existence boundary value problem (PBVP) associated with
(1.1) and obtain existence of solutions by employing the alternative method for
non-linear problems at resonance [1]. We shall then relate these solut ions t o thew
- periodic solutions of (1.1).
Our results generalize the corresponding results of [4] in several ways. For example we obtain our results for any .X E R and for arbitrary m. In the case
>. = - 1, / U) = coswt and p(t) = - p., in.equation {1.1) Ezeilo [2] has obtained
existence results using the Leray - Schauder technique.

u(i)(o) = u (i)(w), (i = 0, 1,2 ... m- 1)
2.5
in which P, f are continuous functions on fo,w]. Our procedure is to shift all
considerations away from (2.5) to the mo~ified PBVP
u(m) = ~<Pa(u) + p(t)g(¢a(u)) - e/(t)
u(i)(o) = u (i)(w), (i = 0,1,2 ... m- 1)

and to show that the equation (2.6) has an w-periodic solution fot all arbitrary A I
and e. The existence of periodic solution of (2.5) will then follow in view of (2.4) after it is verified that every w- per\odic solution u(t) of (~.6) satisfies lu(t)l $ a:.
3 EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS
OF 2 .6
We shall prove the following
Lemma 3.1
Let m ;::: 1. Then the PBVP
u(m) = 0
u(o) = u(i)(w), (i = 0.1,2, ... m-l)
has non- trivial periodic solutions.
Proof t!(m ) = 0
implies that m-1
u (t) = L bJt''"'-J + bm J=l
for some b, i <;: R.
Now m- •

Clearly dom(Nor) = X since <Po: is bounded. Thus the PBVP (2.6) may be
translated into the operator equation
Lu = N"'u (3.2)
For u E X, seL u = u0 + u1 where u0 = Pu and u1 = (I - P)u. Thus (2.6) is
equivalent to the coupled system of equations
u1 = H(I- P)N(u0 + u1) (3.3)
and
PNor(tt.o + u1) = 0
Since <Po: is bounded there exists a constant· J > 0 such that IINo:ull :::; J for all
uE X. Given U 0 E X 0 we can find a constant c :> o independent of u 0 E X 0 such that
max Ju1(t)l :::; c for any solution u1 of (3.3) . te[o,w)
Now choose R > o > 0 large enough so that
lu1(t)l :S R - o (3.4)
Since u0 =spun{!} we can see that if u 0 E X 0 and lluoll = R then either u0 = R
oru0 = -R. If u 0 = R then (2.4) and hypothesis (i) implies
(No:(u0 + u1) , u0 ) = R J:'[A¢o:(u) + p(t)g(¢o:(u)) - c/(t)]dt
= R J:'[Ao + p(t)g(o) '-- c/(t)]dt
= Rw[Ao +Mpg(o) - cMtJ ?: 0
Similarly if u ., = -R we again obtain that (No:(u0 + u 1).u0 > 0. Hence the hypothesis of theorem is satisfied and the proof is complete. Lemma 3.3
Assume that
11"' M1 =- f(t)dt = 0 and g(O) = 0 w 0 .
Then for any ()' > 0 and for any of the following choices of A, p and g given by

OSCD..LATING PERIODIC SOLI.JilONS
where Ya = max lg(u) l - a < u<a
then the equation (1.1) has a solution which is both oscillatory and w-periodic.
Proof
From Lemma 3.3, the modified PBVP (2.6) has a solution u on [o,w] and
u(17) = 0 for some '7 E [o,w]. Let u(t) be any w-periodic solution of (2.6) then
lu(m)(t)l :5 1-XIo + IPiga + lellfl 4.2
and thus, since
lu(m-k)(t) l = 0 at some .t(k = 1, 2, ... m - 1)
we will derive successively from (4.2) that
lu(m- kl(t)l :5 wk[i -XIo + g,.MIPI + le i'MI!il ·
In particular
lu'(t)l :5 wm-1[1-XIo + g,.MiPI + leiMi!ll
Hence,
u(t) = u(17) + J: u'(s)ds
and
lu(t)l :5 wm[I-XIo + 9aMIPi + leiMI/1] :5 o
Since the existence of a positive constant o such that (4.1) is satisfied is given, then the solution obtained above for the PBVP (2.6) is a solution of the PBVP
(2.5) . This solut ion may then be extended periodically on [o, oo] having at least
one zero on (o, w], one zero on (w, 2Lv] and so on. Thus there exist s arbitrarily large
zeros for u . Also from the remark, u changes sign on [o, w]. [w, 2w] and so on.
T his completes the proof.
