Double resonance with Landesman-Lazer conditions for planar systems of ordinary differential equations

We prove the existence of periodic solutions for first order planar systems at resonance. The nonlinearity is indeed allowed to interact with two positively homogeneous Hamiltonians, both at resonance, and some kind of Landesman–Lazer conditions are assumed at both sides. We are thus able to obtain, as particular cases, the existence results proposed in the pioneering papers by Lazer and Leach (1969), and by Frederickson and Lazer (1969). Our theorem also applies in the case of asymptotically piecewise linear systems, and in particular generalizes Fabry’s results (1995), for scalar equations with double resonance with respect to the Dancer–Fucik spectrum.
