Extract

An important unsolved problem in the theory of non-linear oscillations is to establish the boundedness or unboundedness of the general solution of

where dots denote differentiation with respect to t. When p(t) is periodic, we may seek periodic solutions. This search is interesting for its own sake, and of course leads us to special bounded solutions. In three previous papers (2, 3, 4) I have exhibited the equation

as tractable: on the assumption that e(t) is even and periodic, it was shown that the equation has an infinity of periodic solutions.
