We investigate the problem with perturbed periodic boundary values $$\left\}\begin{array}{c}{y}^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}\left(x\right)+a_2\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(x\right)+a_1\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)+a_0\left(x\right)y\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right),y^{\left(i\right)}\left(T\right)=c{y}^{\left(i\right)}\left(0\right),i=0,1,2;0<c<1\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ with $a_2,a_1,a_0\in C[0,T]$ for some arbitrary positive real number $T$, by transforming the problem into an integral equation with the aid of a piecewise polynomial and utilizing the Fredholm alternative theorem to obtain a condition on the uniform norms of the coefficients $a_2$, $a_1$ and $a_0$ which guarantees unique solvability of the problem. Besides having theoretical value, this problem has also important applications since decay is a phenomenon...

In this paper we establish the existence of nontrivial solutions to $$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}{L}_{x^{\text{'}}}(t,x^{\text{'}}\left(t\right))+V_x(t,x\left(t\right))=0,x\left(0\right)=0=x\left(T\right),$$ with $V_x$ superlinear in $x$.

In this paper, we deal with the existence of periodic solutions of the $p\left(t\right)$-Laplacian Hamiltonian system $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}}\left(\right|\dot{u}\left(t\right){|}^{p\left(t\right)-2}\dot{u}\left(t\right))=\nabla F(t,u\left(t\right))\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)-u\left(T\right)=\dot{u}\left(0\right)-\dot{u}\left(T\right)=0.\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ Some new existence theorems are obtained by using the least action principle and minimax methods in critical point theory, and our results generalize and improve some existence theorems.

In this paper we prove two results. The first is an extension of the result of G. D. Jones [4]: (A) Every nontrivial solution for $$\left\}\begin{array}{c}{(-1)}^n{u}^{\left(2n\right)}+f(t,u)=0,\text{in}(\alpha ,\infty ),u^{\left(i\right)}\left(\xi \right)=0,i=0,1,\cdots ,n-1,\text{and}\xi \in (\alpha ,\infty ),\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ must be unbounded, provided $f(t,z)z\ge 0$, in $E\times ℝ$ and for every bounded subset $I$, $f(t,z)$ is bounded in $E\times I$. (B) Every bounded solution for ${(-1)}^n{u}^{\left(2n\right)}+f(t,u)=0$, in $ℝ$, must be constant, provided $f(t,z)z\ge 0$ in $ℝ\times ℝ$ and for every bounded subset $I$, $f(t,z)$ is bounded in $ℝ\times I$.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^n$ with a smooth boundary $\Gamma$. In this work we study the existence of solutions for the following boundary value problem: $$\frac{{\partial }^{2}y}{\partial t^2}-M\left({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla y\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\Delta y-\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\Delta y=f\left(y\right)\text{in}Q=\Omega \times (0,\infty ),.1y=0\text{in}{\Sigma }_1={\Gamma }_1\times (0,\infty ),M\left({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla y\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\frac{\partial y}{\partial \nu }+\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial \nu }\right)=g\text{in}{\Sigma }_0={\Gamma }_0\times (0,\infty ),y\left(0\right)=y_0,\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}\left(0\right)=y_1\text{in}\Omega ,\left(1\right)$$ where $M$ is a $C^1$-function such that $M\left(\lambda \right)\ge {\lambda }_0>0$ for every $\lambda \ge 0$ and $f\left(y\right)={\left|y\right|}^{\alpha }y$ for $\alpha \ge 0$.
