Abstract

In this paper, a class of 2p-order ordinary differential equation with periodic nonlinearity are concerned. Several assumptions are made by an index theory for the corresponding linear homogeneous equation. Under these assumptions, a multiplicity result of solutions for the concerned equation is obtained by applying Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and a careful analysis of the oscillatory behaviour of the bifurcation equation induced by the concerned equation.
