AbstractIn this paper, we deal with the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions for the p(t)-Laplacian Hamiltonian system. Some new existence theorems are obtained by using the least action principle and minmax methods in critical point theory, and our results generalize and improve some existence theorems.

We investigate the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions for a class of second-order differential systems with impulses. By using variational methods and critical point theory, we obtain such a system possesses at least one nonzero, two nonzero, or infinitely many periodic solutions generated by impulses under different conditions, respectively. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved.

This paper is concerned with homoclinic orbits in the Hamiltonian system [Formula: see text] where H is periodic in t with Hz(t, z) = L(t)z + Rz(t, z), Rz(t, z) = o(|z|) as z → 0. We find a condition on the matrix valued function L to describe the spectrum of operator [Formula: see text] so that a proper variational formulation is presented. Supposing Rz is asymptotically linear as |z| → ∞ and symmetric in z, we obtain infinitely many homoclinic orbits. We also treat the case where Rz is super linear as |z| → ∞ with assumptions different from those studied previously in relative work, and prove existence and multiplicity of homoclinic orbits. Our arguments are based on some recent information on strongly indefinite functionals in critical point theory.

AbstractThe principle of least effort has been widely used to explain phenomena related to human behavior ranging from topics in language to those in social systems. It has precedence in the principle of least action from the Lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics. In this study, we present a model for interceptive human walking based on the least action principle. Taking inspiration from Lagrangian mechanics, a Lagrangian is defined as effort minus security, with two different specific mathematical forms. The resulting Euler–Lagrange equations are then solved to obtain the equations of motion. The model is validated using experimental data from a virtual reality crossing simulation with human participants. We thus conclude that the least action principle provides a useful tool in the study of interceptive walking.
