Abstract

In this paper, the simultaneous existence of positive, negative and sign-changing periodic solutions for a class of integral equations of the form @f(x)=@!"["x","x"+"@w"]"@?"@WK(x,y)f(y,@f(y-@t(y)))dy,x@?@W, is considered, where @W is a closed subset of R^N with a periodic structure. Our main result is different from most existing results since they provide three constant sign periodic solutions only.
