Abstract:

The periodic solutions of a class of second order differential equations were studied with the equivalent variational method. By finding suitable transformation, the original secondorder periodic boundary value problem was reduced to the firstorder periodic boundary value problem in which the periodic solution is more easily obtained. Finally, the application to a class of examples was given to illustrate the potential of this method.

Key words: differential equation, periodic solution, equivalent variation
