SynopsisIn this paper we give some results on the existence of periodic solutions to the second order Hamiltonian system:where and Ω is an open set of ℝn with non-empty bounded complement ℝn\Ω; we suppose V(t, x) is periodic in t, V(t, x)→ + ∞ as x → ∂Ω and V is super (or sub)-quadratic as |x| → + ∞.

SynopsisThis work is devoted to the study of subharmonic solutions of a second-order Hamiltonian systemnear an equilibrium point, say q = 0. The problem of existence of periodic solutions from the global point of view is also considered.This problem has been studied for the case where the potential is positive and superquadratic. In this work a potential V that has change in sign is considered. The potential is decomposed aswhere P is homogeneous, superquadratic and nondegenerate, and is of higher order near 0. In this paper the existence is shown of a sequence of subharmonic solutions of the equation above that converges to the equilibrium, such that their minimal periods converge to infinity.This problem is approached from a variational point of view. Existence of subharmonic and periodic solutions is obtained via minimax techniques.

This paper is concerned with the second-order Hamiltonian system on time scales𝕋of the formuΔΔ(ρ(t))+μb(t)|u(t)|μ−2u(t)+∇¯H(t,u(t))=0, Δ-a.e.t∈[0,T]𝕋 ,u(0)−u(T)=uΔ(ρ(0))−uΔ(ρ(T))=0,where0,T∈𝕋. By using the minimax methods in critical theory, an existence theorem of periodic solution for the above system is established. As an application, an example is given to illustrate the result. This is probably the first time the existence of periodic solutions for second-order Hamiltonian system on time scales has been studied by critical theory.
