Abstract

We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of some classes of autonomous and non-autonomous second order differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides. In the plane the discontinuities considered are given by the straight lines either x = 0, or xy = 0. Two applications of these results are made, one to control systems with variable structure, and the other to small external periodic excitation of a discontinuous nonlinear oscillator. (AU)
