Playing Around Resonance , 1st ed. 2016 An Invitation to the Search of Periodic Solutions for Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations Birkhäuser Advanced Texts Basler Lehrbücher Series

This book provides an up-to-date description of the methods needed to face the existence of solutions to some nonlinear boundary value problems. All important and interesting aspects of the theory of periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations related to the physical and mathematical question of resonance are treated. The author has chosen as a model example the periodic problem for a second order scalar differential equation. In a paedagogical style the author takes the reader step by step from the basics to the most advanced existence results in the field.

Permits to fastly reach advanced scientific results and open problems in the field
