Abstract The existence of anti-periodic solutions with symmetry for high-order Duffing equations and a high-order Duffing type p-Laplacian equation has been studied by using degree theory. The results obtained enrich some known works to some extent.

1 Introduction Anti-periodic problems arise naturally from the mathematical models of various physical processes (see [, ]) and also appear in the study of partial differential equations and abstract differential equations (see [–]). For instance, electron beam focusing system in traveling-wave tube theories is an anti-periodic problem (see []). In mechanics, the simplest model of oscillation equation is a single pendulum equation x + ω sin x = e(t) ≡ e(t + π) , whose anti-periodic solutions satisfy x(t + π) = –x(t),
∀t ∈ R.
During the past twenty years, anti-periodic problems have been studied extensively by numerous scholars. For example, for first-order ordinary differential equations, a Massera’s type criterion was presented in [] and the validity of the monotone iterative technique was shown in []. Moreover, for higher-order ordinary differential equations, the existence of anti-periodic solutions was considered in [–]. Recently, existence results were extended to anti-periodic boundary value problems for impulsive differential equations (see []), and anti-periodic wavelets were discussed in []. It is well known that higher-order p-Laplacian equations are derived from many fields such as fluid mechanics and nonlinear elastic mechanics. In the past few decades, many important results on higher-order p-Laplacian equations with certain boundary conditions have been obtained.
