Periodic BVPs in ODEs with time singularities.

Summary: We show the existence of solutions to a nonlinear singular second order ordinary differential equation, $$u''(t)=\frac{a}{t}u'(t)+\lambda f(t,u(t),u'(t))$$ subject to periodic boundary conditions, where $a>0$ is a given constant, $\lambda >0$ is a parameter, and the nonlinearity $f(t,x,y)$ satisfies the local Carathéodory conditions on $[0,T]\times \bbfR\times \bbfR$. Here, we study the case that a well-ordered pair of lower and upper functions does not exist and therefore the underlying problem cannot be treated by well-known standard techniques. Instead, we assume the existence of constant lower and upper functions having opposite order. Analytical results are illustrated by means of numerical experiments.
