Abstract

Some existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions are obtained for nonautonomous second order Hamiltonian systems with sublinear nonlinearity by using the least action principle and minimax methods in critical point theory.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 34C25, 37J45, 58E50.

Summary

For u

It follows from assumption (A) that the corresponding function on HT1 given by φ(u) :=. Suppose that there exists a positive function h which satisfies the conditions (i), (iii), (iv) of (S1), we have the following estimates:. For u ∈ HT1, it follows from (S1), Lemma 2.1 and Sobolev’s inequality that [F(t, u(t)) − F(t, u)]dt. In order to apply the saddle point theorem in [2,3], we only need to verify the following conditions:. ≤ εC10 |u(t)|2dt + C11⎝ |u (t)|2dt⎠ , which implies that φ(u) = 1 |u(t)|2dt + [F(t, u(t)) − F(t, 0)] dt 2. Ψ Î C1(E, R) satisfies the (PS) condition by the proof of Theorem 1.2.
