Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, Conference 05 (2000), pp. 113-119. Title: A Second look at the first result of Landesman-Lazer type. Authors: Alan C. Lazer (Univ. of Miami, Coral Gables, FL, USA) Abstract: We discuss some results concerning periodic and almot periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations which are precursors of a result on weak solutions of a semilinear elliptic boundary due to E. M. Landesman and the author. It is observed that in the earliest of these, if one looks for periodic solutions instead of almost peridic solutions, then the conditions can be relaxed.
