Synopsis

This paper is devoted to the existence of periodic solutions for the scalar forced Lienard differential equation

The key assumptions relate the asymptotic behaviour as x →± ∞of g(t; x)/x to the “critical values” of the positively 1-homogeneous problem

No condition on f, except continuity, is assumed. Our approach is based on Leray–Schauder degree techniques and a priori estimates.
