Synopsis

We study the existence of T-periodic positive solutions of the equation

where f(t, .) has a singularity of repulsive type near the origin. Under the assumption that f(t, x) lies between two lines of positive slope for large and positive x, we find a non-resonance condition which predicts the existence of one T-periodic solution.

Our main result gives a Fredholm alternative-like result for the existence of T-periodic positive solutions for
