Multiple solutions of singular periodic problems

Abstract

In this contribution we consider the singular periodic problem \[ u''+k\,u=g(u)+e(t),\quad u(0)=u(2π),\,\,u'(0)=u'(2π), \] where $k\in \mathbb{R},$ $e:\J\to\R$ is Lebesgue integrable and $g:\I\mapsto\R$ is continuous, but can have a singularity at $x=0.$ In particular, I wish to revisit our earlier result regarding the existence of at least two its solutions and present a proof that is somewhat more transparent than the original one.
