AbstractWe consider periodic solutions of the following problem associated with the fractional Laplacian: {(-\partial_{xx})^{s}u(x)+\partial_{u}F(x,u(x))=0} in {\mathbb{R}}. The smooth function {F(x,u)} is periodic about x and is a double-well potential with respect to u with wells at {+1} and -1 for any {x\in\mathbb{R}}. We prove the existence of periodic solutions whose periods are large integer multiples of the period of F about the variable x by using variational methods. An estimate of the energy functional, Hamiltonian identity and Modica-type inequality for periodic solutions are also established.

We are concerned with a class of singular Hamiltonian systems on time scales. Some results on the existence of periodic solutions are obtained for the system under consideration by means of the variational methods and the critical point theory.

This paper studies the periodic solutions to a superquadratic second-oder discrete type Hamiltonian system in the n dimensional Euclide space. By the variational methods and some discrete computional techniques, this paper proves the existence of solution to a new type discrete Hamiltonian system.

We deal with the quasi-periodic solutions of the following second-order Hamiltonian systemsx¨(t)=∇F(t,x(t)), wherex(t)=(x1(t),…,xN(t)), and we present a new approach via variational methods and Minmax method to obtain the existence of quasi-periodic solutions to the above equation.

We provide new variational settings to study the a.p. (almost periodic) solutions of a class of nonlinear neutral delay equations. We extend Shu and Xu (2006) variational setting for periodic solutions of nonlinear neutral delay equation to the almost periodic settings. We obtain results on the structure of the set of the a.p. solutions, results of existence of a.p. solutions, results of existence of a.p. solutions, and also a density result for the forced equations.

In this paper, we study a class of second-order neutral impulsive functional differential equations. Under certain conditions, we establish the existence of multiple periodic solutions by means of critical point theory and variational methods. We propose an example to illustrate the applicability of our result.
