TL;DR: In this article, a relationship between the periodic and Dirichlet boundary value problems for second-order ODEs with singularities is established, which may be useful in explaining the difference between the nonresonance of singular and nonsingular differential equations.
Abstract: In this paper, a relationship between the periodic and the Dirichlet boundary value problems for second-order ordinary differential equations with singularities is established. This relationship may be useful in explaining the difference between the nonresonance of singular and nonsingular differential equations. Using this relationship, we give in this paper an existence result of positive periodic solutions to singular differential equations when the singular forces satisfy some strong force condition at the singularity 0 and some linear growth condition at infinity.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the strong force (SF) condition is closely related to the completeness of certain Jacobi metrics associated with the potential V, and this fact permits the use of the standard results of riemannian geometry in the analysis of SF systems.
Abstract: We consider conservative dynamical systems associated with potentials V which have singularities at a set S: V(x) a as x -:+ S. It is shown that various "action" integrals satisfy Condition C of Palais and Smale provided that the potential satisfy a certain strong force (SF) condition. Hence, e.g., we establish the existence in SF systems of periodic trajectories which wind around S and have arbitrary given topological (homotopy) type and which have arbitrary given period, and also periodic trajectories which make arbitrarily tight loops around S. Similar results are also obtained concerning the existence of trajectories which wind around S and join two given points. The SF condition is shown to be closely related to the completeness (in the riemannian sense) of certain Jacobi metrics associated with the potential V, and this fact permits the use of the standard results of riemannian geometry in the analysis of SF systems. The SF condition excludes the gravitational case, and the action integrals do not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition in the gravitational case. The Jacobi metrics associated with gravitational potentials are not complete. For SF systems there exist trajectories which join two given points and make arbitrarily tight loops around S, and this is not the case in the gravitational two body problem. On the other hand, for SF systems any smooth family of X-periodic trajectories (A fixed) is bounded away from S, and this also is not the case for gravitational systems. Thus the definition of the SF condition is "well motivated", and leads to the disclosure of certain differences between the behavior of SF systems and gravitational (and other weak force) systems.
