Periodic solutions of forced Kirchhoff equations

We consider Kirchhoff equations for vibrating bodies in any dimension in presence of a time-periodic external forcing with period 2pi/omega and amplitude epsilon, both for Dirichlet and for space-periodic boundary conditions. We prove existence, regularity and local uniqueness of time-periodic solutions of period 2pi/omega and order epsilon, by means of a Nash-Moser iteration scheme. The results hold for parameters (omega, epsilon) in Cantor sets having measure asymptotically full as epsilon tends to 0. (What's new in version 2: the case of finite-order Sobolev regularity, the case of space-periodic boundary conditions, a different iteration scheme in the proof, some references).
