The existence and multiplicity of T-periodic solutions to a class of differential equations with attractive singularities at the origin are investigated in the paper. The approach is based on a new method of construction of strict upper and lower functions. The multiplicity results of Ambrosetti–Prodi type are established using a priori estimates and certain properties of topological degree.

We consider the existence of positive solutions for a class of nonlinear integral boundary value problems for fractional differential equations. By using some fixed point theorems, the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions are obtained. The results obtained in this paper improve and generalize some well-known results.

The existence and multiplicity of solutions for second-order differential equations with a parameter are discussed in this paper. We are mainly concerned with the semipositone case. The analysis relies on the nonlinear alternative principle of Leray-Schauder and Krasnosel'skii's fixed point theorem in cones.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish existence and multiplicity results for systems of first-order differential equations. To this end, we introduce the method of solution-regions. It generalizes the method of upper and lower solutions and the method of solution-tubes. Our results can also be seen as viability results since we obtain solutions remaining in suitable regions. We give conditions insuring the existence of at least three viable solutions of a system of first-order differential equations. Many examples are presented to show that a large variety of sets can be solution-regions.

The paper computes the Brouwer degree of some classes of homogeneous polynomials defined on quaternions and applies the results, together with a continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, to the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions of a class of systems of quaternionic valued ordinary differential equations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Topological degree and fixed point theories in differential and difference equations’.

The aim of this paper is to prove new existence and multiplicity results for periodic semilinear beam equation with a nonlinear time-independent perturbation in case the period is not prescribed. Since the spectrum of the linear part varies with the period, the solvability of the equation depends crucially on the period which can be chosen as a free parameter. Since the period of the external forcing is generally unknown a priori, we consider the following natural problem. For a given time-independent nonlinearity, find periodsTfor which the equation is solvable for anyT-periodic forcing. We will also deal with the existence of multiple solutions when the nonlinearity interacts with the spectrum of the linear part. We show that under certain conditions multiple solutions do exist for any small forcing term with suitable periodT. The results are obtained via generalized Leray-Schauder degree and reductions to invariant subspaces.
