Rotating periodic solutions for second‐order dynamical systems with singularities of repulsive type

Abstract

In this paper, we study the following second‐order dynamical system: urn:x-wiley:mma:media:mma4223:mma4223-math-0001 where c ⩾0 is a constant, and . When g admits a singularity at zero of repulsive type without the restriction of strong force condition, we apply the coincidence degree theory to prove that the system admits nonplanar collisionless rotating periodic solutions taking the form u ( t + T ) = Q u ( t ), with T > 0 and Q an orthogonal matrix under the assumption of Landesman–Lazer type.
