<正> In this paper the existence results of positive ω-periodic solutions are obtained forsecond order ordinary differential equation-u"(t)=f(t,u(t)) (t∈R), and also for firstorder ordinary differential equation u"(f)=f(t,u(t)) (t∈R), where f: R×R+→Ris a continuous function which is ω-periodic in t. The discussion is based on the fixedpoint index theory in cones.
