Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a class of second-order p(t)-Laplacian systems with local ‘superquadratic’ potential. By using the generalized mountain pass theorem, we obtain an existence result for nonconstant periodic solutions.

Summary

Introduction

This paper is concerned with the existence of periodic solutions for the following p(t)Laplacian system:. ⎨u (t) + ∇F(t, u(t)) = , t ∈ [ , T], In , Rabinowitz [ ] published his pioneer paper on the existence of periodic solutions for problem ( ) under the following Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz superquadratic condition:. Some new superquadratic conditions under which there exist periodic solutions for problem ( ) have been discovered in literature, see, for example, the references [ – ]. In [ – ], the authors studied a superlinear elliptic equation with p(x)Laplacian without the AR condition and obtained some existence results. Motivated by the papers [ , , , , ], we aim in this paper to study the existence of nonconstant periodic solutions of system ( ) with local ‘superquadratic’ potential and without the AR condition.
