Abstract

This paper gives sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions to general indefinite singular differential equations. Furthermore, under some assumptions we show the existence of two positive periodic solutions. The methods used are Krasnoselski\(\breve{\mbox{i}}\)’s-Guo fixed point theorem and the positivity of the associated Green’s function.
