Synopsis

We apply a version of the Nash–Moser method to prove existence of periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations and systems, involving singular perturbations. We allow nonlinearities depending on derivatives of order two more than that of the linear part, thus extending the previous results. Our result is new even in the case of one equation in one spatial dimension.
