Computations of cohomology groups and nontrivial periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems

Abstract

By computing the E -critical groups at θ and infinity of the corresponding functional of Hamiltonian systems, we proved the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions for the systems which may be resonant at θ and infinity under some new conditions. Some results in the literature are extended and some new type of theorems are proved. The main tool is the E -Morse theory developed by Kryszewski and Szulkin.
