Abstract

In this paper, we consider the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions for the Duffing equation $x''+g(x)=p(t)$ with a singularity. When the time map has oscillating properties, $g(x)$ possesses a singularity at the origin and tends to $+\infty$ as $x\to+\infty$ and other conditions hold. We obtain the existence of harmonic solutions and the multiplicity of subharmonic solutions of the given equation by using the phase-plane analysis methods and the generalized Poincaré–Birkhoff twist theorem.
