Twin positive periodic solutions of second order singular differential systems

In this paper, we study positive periodic solutions to singular second order differential systems. It is proved that such a problem has at least two positive periodic solutions. The proof relies on a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and on Krasnosel'skiĭ fixed point theorem on compression and expansion of cones.
