In this paper, we study the existence, multiplicity and stability of positive periodic solutions of relativistic singular differential equations. The proof of the existence and multiplicity is based on the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, and the proof of stability is based on a known connection between the index of a periodic solution and its stability.
