Abstract

Cubic and quartic non-autonomous differential equations with continuous piecewise linear coefficients are considered. The main concern is to find the maximum possible multiplicity of periodic solutions. For many classes, we show that the mutiplicity is the same when the coefficients are polynomial functions of degree n or piecewise linear functions with n segments.
