New results on the periodic solutions for a kind of Rayleigh equation with two deviating arguments. (English) Zbl 1161.34345
Existence of periodic solutions for the class of equations with two deviating arguments of the form
$x''(t)+f(x'(t))+g_1(t,x(t-{\tau}_1(t)))+g_2(t,x(t-{\tau}_2(t)))=p(t)$
is investigated. The main tools used by the authors are: the continuation theorem of the coincidence degree, a priori estimates, and differential inequalities, thus improving and generalizing previous results.
