The existence, non-existence and multiplicity of solutions to periodic boundary value problems (phi(u'))' + g(u) = e(t) + s, u(0) - u(T) = 0 = u'(0) - u'(T), is discussed, where phi : (-a, a) -> R or phi : R -> (-a, a) is an increasing homeomorphism such that phi(0) = 0 and 0 < a <= infinity. The nonlinear term g is assumed to be bounded, positive and g(+/-infinity) = 0.
