Positive periodic solution to an indefinite singular equation. (English) Zbl 1476.34101

The paper is concerned with the singular equation \[ x'' + q(t)x = \frac{b(t)}{x^\rho} + e(t), \] where \(\rho > 0\) and \(q,b,e\) are \(\omega\)-periodic continuous functions, with \(q(t), e(t) > 0\) for all \(t\).
Under suitable assumptions on the Green’s function of the associated linear equation and on the nonlinear term, the existence of a positive \(\omega\)-periodic solution is proved by the use of a fixed point theorem in cones.
In principle, the result is applicable both in the case of weak singularities (that is, \(0 < \rho < 1\)) and strong singularities (\(\rho > 1\)). An example of application is provided.
