Positive periodic solutions for a kind of second-order neutral differential equations with variable coefficient and delay. (English) Zbl 1395.34075

Summary: In this article, we discuss a type of second-order neutral differential equations with variable coefficient and delay: \[ (x(t)-c(t)x(t-\tau (t)))''+a(t)x(t)=f(t,x(t-\delta (t))), \] where \(c(t)\in C(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R})\) and \(|c(t)|\neq 1\). By employing Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem and properties of the neutral operator \((Ax)(t):=x(t)-c(t)x(t-\tau (t))\), some sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions are established.
