Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of (weak) periodic solutions for nonlocal fractional equations with periodic boundary conditions. These equations have a variational structure and, by applying a critical point result coming out from a classical Pucci-Serrin theorem in addition to a local minimum result for differentiable functionals due to Ricceri, we are able to prove the existence of at least two periodic solutions for the treated problems. As far as we know, all these results are new.
