In this note, we first consider the monotonicity of the Maslov-type index theory. More precisely, for any two 1-periodic symmetric continuous matrix functions B0(t) and B1(t) with B0(t) < B1(t), we consider the relations between the Maslov-type indices (i(B0), ν (B0)) and (i(B1), ν (B1)). We then apply this theory to study the existence and multiplicity of some kinds of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems

By the Maslov index theory, we will study the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic orbits for a class of asymptotically linear nonperiodic Hamiltonian systems with some twisted conditions on the Hamiltonian functions.

This paper is devoted to multiple solutions of generalized asymptotical linear Hamiltonian systems satisfying Bolza boundary conditions. We classify the linear Hamiltonian systems by the index theory and obtain the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the Hamiltonian systems, based on an application of the classical symmetric mountain pass lemma.

We study the existence and multiplicity of periodic weak solutions for a non-local equation involving an odd subcritical nonlinearity which is asymptotically linear at infinity. We investigate such problem by applying the pseudo-index theory developed by Bartolo, Benci and Fortunato [11] after transforming the problem to a degenerate elliptic problem in a half-cylinder with a Neumann boundary condition, via a Caffarelli-Silvestre type extension in periodic setting. The periodic nonlocal case, considered here, presents, respect to the cases studied in the literature, some new additional difficulties and a careful analysis of the fractional spaces involved is necessary.

In dynamical system theory, especially in many fields of applications from mechanics, Hamiltonian systems play an important role, since many related equations in mechanics can be written in an Hamiltonian form. In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions for a class of Hamiltonian systems. By applying the Galerkin approximation method together with a result of critical point theory, we establish the existence of periodic solutions of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems without twist conditions. Twist conditions play crucial roles in the study of periodic solutions for asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems. The lack of twist conditions brings some difficulty to the study. To the authors’ knowledge, very little is known about the case, where twist conditions do not hold.
