A ``Birkhoff-Lewis'' type result for a class of Hamiltonian systems (Q1821403): Difference between revisions

Consider the Hamiltonian system of differetial equations \[ (1)\quad - J\dot z=H_ z(t,z), \] where \(z=(p,q)\in {\mathbb{R}}^{2N}\), J denotes the symplectic structure in \({\mathbb{R}}^{2N}\) and \(H_ z\) denotes the gradient of the Hamiltonian function H with respect to z. Suppose that H is \(\tau\)-periodic in the t variable and \(H_ z(t,0)=0\). If H satisfies suitable assumptions it can be proved that (1) possesses a sequence \(z_ k\) of \(k\cdot \tau\) periodic solutions (k-prime) converging to zero uniformly in \(C^ 1({\mathbb{R}},{\mathbb{R}}^{2N})\).
