Periodic and falling-free motion of an inverted spherical pendulum with a moving pivot point

Abstract

For the system of an inverted spherical pendulum with friction and a periodically moving pivot point we prove the existence of at least one periodic solution with the additional property of being falling-free. The last means that the pendulum never becomes horizontal along the considered periodic solution. Presented proof is an application of some recent results in the fixed point theory.
