## Some remarks on semilinear problems at resonance where the nonlinearity depends only on the derivatives.(English)Zbl 0853.34021

The author considers the Neumann and the periodic boundary value problems for the second order nonlinear system $$u'' + g(t,u') = f(t)$$, $$t \in [a,b]$$, where $$f \in L^1 ([a,b], \mathbb{R}^n)$$ and $$g : [a,b] \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$$ is a Carathéodory function such that (1) $$g(t,v)/ |v |\to 0$$ uniformly a.e. in $$t \in [a,b]$$ whenever $$|v |\to \infty$$. In particular, he shows that for each $$\widetilde f \in L^1 ([a,b], \mathbb{R}^n)$$ such that $$(\int^b_a \widetilde fds)/(b - a) = 0$$ there exist $$k \in \mathbb{R}^n$$ such that the given problem with $$f = \widetilde f + k$$ possesses a family of solutions of the form $$u(t) + c$$, $$c \in \mathbb{R}^n$$. In the scalar case $$n = 1$$ analogous existence results are obtained if $$g$$ is continuous ((1) need not be satisfied) and $$f \in L^2 ([a,b], \mathbb{R})$$. Some uniqueness results are given, as well.
