On almost periodicity of solutions of second-order differential equations involving reflection of the argument

Abstract

Abstract We study almost periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear second-order differential equations involving reflection of the argument. We establish existence results of almost periodic solutions as critical points by a variational approach. We also prove structure results on the set of strong almost periodic solutions, existence results of weak almost periodic solutions, and a density result on the almost periodic forcing term for which the equation possesses usual almost periodic solutions.
