We study the existence of periodic solutions for Liénard-type p-Laplacian systems with variable coefficients by means of the topological degree theory. We present sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions, improving some known results.

An SEIR model with periodic coefficients in epidemiology is considered. The global existence of periodic solutions with strictly positive components for this model is established by using the method of coincidence degree. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for the global stability of this model is obtained. An example based on the transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is included.

In this paper we examine nonlinear periodic systems driven by the vectorial $p$-Laplacian and with a nondifferentiable, locally Lipschitz nonlinearity. Our approach is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory and uses the subdifferential theory for locally Lipschitz functions. We prove existence and multiplicity results for the “sublinear” problem. For the semilinear problem (i.e. $p=2$) using a nonsmooth multidimensional version of the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove an existence theorem...

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence and multiplicity of a periodic solution for the non-autonomous second-order system $$\begin{array}{c}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\left(\right|\dot{u}\left(t\right){|}^{p-2}\dot{u}\left(t\right))=\nabla F(t,u\left(t\right)),\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],\\ u\left(0\right)-u\left(T\right)=\dot{u}\left(0\right)-\dot{u}\left(T\right)=0,\\ \Delta {\dot{u}}^i\left(t_j\right)={\dot{u}}^i\left(t_j^{+}\right)-{\dot{u}}^i\left(t_j^{-}\right)=I_{ij}\left(u^i\left(t_j\right)\right),i=1,2,\cdots ,N;j=1,2,\cdots ,m.\end{array}$$ By using the least action principle and the saddle point theorem, some new existence theorems are obtained for second-order $p$-Laplacian systems with or without impulse under weak sublinear growth conditions, improving some existing results in the literature.

Applying two three critical points theorems, we prove the existence of at least three anti-periodic solutions for a second-order impulsive differential inclusion with a perturbed nonlinearity and two parameters.
