%0 Journal Article %T Recent Existence Results for Second-Order Singular Periodic Differential Equations %A Chu Jifeng %A Nieto JuanJ %J Boundary Value Problems %D 2009 %I Springer %X We present some recent existence results for second-order singular periodic differential equations. A nonlinear alternative principle of Leray-Schauder type, a well-known fixed point theorem in cones, and Schauder's fixed point theorem are used in the proof. The results shed some light on the differences between a strong singularity and a weak singularity. %U http://www.boundaryvalueproblems.com/content/2009/540863
