We use perturbation methods to establish the existence of a second kind periodic solution (running solution) of a nonlinear Tricomi’s equation type under relativistic effects. First, we estimate conditions for the existence of either an equilibrium point or a second-kind periodic solution through the average method, where we assumed the nonlinear part as a positive perturbation. Then, we use the Melnikov function to estimate conditions for the existence of running solutions, considering the persistence of the homoclinic orbits associated with the conservative equation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
