AbstractWe consider a conservative second order Hamiltonian system $$\ddot q + \nabla V(q) = 0$$ in ℝ3 with a potential V having a global maximum at the origin and a line l ∩ {0} = ϑ as a set of singular points. Under a certain compactness condition on V at infinity and a strong force condition at singular points we study, by the use of variational methods and geometrical arguments, the existence of homoclinic solutions of the system.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to find an odd homoclinic orbit for a class of reversible Hamiltonian systems. The proof is variational and it employs a version of the concentration compactness principle of P. L. Lions in a lemma due to Struwe.

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.

AbstractWe consider a planar autonomous Hamiltonian system :q+∇V(q) = 0, where the potential V: ℝ2 \{ζ}→ ℝ has a single well of infinite depth at some point ζ and a strict global maximum 0at two distinct points a and b. Under a strong force condition around the singularity ζ we will prove a lemma on the existence and multiplicity of heteroclinic and homoclinic orbits — the shadowing chain lemma — via minimization of action integrals and using simple geometrical arguments.

AbstractWe show, under an iterative condition which is similar to but stronger than that of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz and by using a variational method, the existence of aT-periodic solution of the autonomous superquadratic second order Hamiltonian system with even potential\ddot{z}+V^{\prime}(z)=0,\quad z\in\mathbb{R},for any{T>0}. Moreover, such a solution has{T/k}as a minimal period for some integer{1\leq k\leq 3}.

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.

By use of the Cerami-Palais-Smale condition, we generalize the classical Weierstrass minimizing theorem to the singular case by allowing functions which attain infinity at some values. As an application, we study certain singular second-order Hamiltonian systems with strong force potential at the origin and show the existence of new periodic solutions with fixed periods.

SynopsisConsider the second order Hamiltonian system:where q ∊ ℝn and V ∊ C1 (ℝ ×ℝn ℝ) is T periodic in t. Suppose Vq (t, 0) = 0, 0 is a local maximum for V(t,.) and V(t, x) | x| → ∞ Under these and some additional technical assumptions we prove that (HS) has a homoclinic orbit q emanating from 0. The orbit q is obtained as the limit as k → ∞ of 2kT periodic solutions (i.e. subharmonics) qk of (HS). The subharmonics qk are obtained in turn via the Mountain Pass Theorem.
