By using upper and lower solutions method and coincidence degree theory,the existence of solutions for a second-order implicit differential equation with periodic boundary value problems x"(t) =f(t,x(t),x"(t)),t ∈ [0,2π],x(0) =x(2π),x'(0) =x'(2π)is discussed,where f:[0,2r] × R2 → R is continuous.An existence result that there is at least one solution is obtained.The effectiveness of the result is proved by using an example.
