A global solution curve for a class of periodic problems, including the pendulum equation. (English) Zbl 1155.34021

This paper studies the exact multiplicity of periodic solutions and the global solution structure for a class of periodically forced pendulum-like equations. The main tools used are continuation methods and bifurcation theory.
