Abstract
A connection between the Landesman-Lazer condition and the solvability of the equation Lx = N(x) in a cone with a noninvertible linear operator L is studied. The result is based on the abstract framework from [5], applied to the existence of periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations, and compared with theorems by Santanilla (see [7]).
Keywords
