“…In particular a large part of these studies concerns the weakly damped wave equation u tt − cu t = ∆u + λu + f (t, x, u), t ≥ 0, x ∈ Ω u(t, x) = 0, t ≥ 0, x ∈ ∂Ω (1.2) where the Laplacian in the damping term appears in the zero fractional power. For instance the results obtained in the series of papers [1], [18], [21], [22], [23] provides the existence of T -periodic solutions for (1.2), in the case when Ω ⊂ R n is a thin domain, that is, a cartesian product of an open bounded subset of R n−1 and a small open interval. In these papers the periodic solutions are obtained as fixed points of the Poincaré operator by topological degree methods.…”
