In this paper, we consider the 2 pi -periodic problem for the equation
x " + n(2)x = f(s) - b(t),
where n is a positive integer, b(t) is continuous and 2 pi -periodic, and f
(s) is bounded and continuous. We give a new formulation for the Lazer-Leac
h conditions for the existence of 2 pi -periodic solutions, and new suffici
ent conditions for the existence of unbounded sequences of such solutions.
