Abstract
In this paper, we will give, for the periodic solution of the scalar Newtonian equation, some twist criteria which can deal with the fourth order resonant case. These are established by developing some new estimates for the periodic solution of the Ermakov–Pinney equation, for which the associated Hill equation may across the fourth order resonances. As a concrete example, the least amplitude periodic solution of the forced pendulum is proved to be twist even when the frequency acroses the fourth order resonances. This improves the results in Lei et al. (2003). Twist character of the least amplitude periodic solution of the forced pendulm. SIAM J. Math. Anal. 35, 844–867.
