Abstract
We prove the existence of at least N + 1 geometrically distinct T-periodic solutions for a differential inclusions system of the form-(ψ(u′))′ ∈ ∂F(t,u) + h(t). Here, ψ: ℝN → ℝN is a monotone homeomorphism, F: [0,T] × ℝN → ℝ is periodic with respect to each component of the second variable and ∂F(t,x) stands for the generalized Clarke gradient of F(t,·) at x ∈ ℝN. The monotonicity assumptions on highlight the vector p-Laplacian as being the prototype differential operator. The main interesting feature of this approach is that it also provides a useful framework to treat the case of the p-relativistic singular operator.
