“…In the recent years, the powerful and effective method of the coincidence degree has been applied to study the existence of periodic solutions in periodic equations and some good results have been obtained. By using Mawhin's continuation theorem, in , the existence of even solutions with minimum positive period for a class of higher order nonlinear Duffing differential equations was studied; the author in studied the existence of periodic solutions of a class of higher order delay differential equations; in , the authors studied the existence of positive periodic solutions of the following difference equation …”
