Infinitely many periodic solutions for a class of perturbed second-order differential equations with impulses (Q499738): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate the periodic boundary value problem: \[ \begin{aligned} &u''(t) + V_u(t,u(t)) = 0, \quad t \in (0,T) \setminus \{s_1,\ldots,s_m\},\\ &\triangle u'(s_k) = \lambda f_k(u(s_k)) + \mu g_k(u(s_k)),\\ &u(0) - u(T) = u'(0) - u'(T) = 0, \end{aligned} \] where \(0 < s_1 < s_2 < \ldots < s_m < T\), \(f_k = \nabla F_k\), \(g_k = \nabla G_k\) with \(F_k,G_k \in C^1(\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R})\), \(V \in C^1([0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^N,\mathbb{R})\), \(V_u(t,u) = \nabla_u V(t,u)\), \(\lambda > 0\), \(\mu \geq 0\). Sufficient conditions for the existence of infinitely many solution of such problems are derived. The results are obtained by using variational method and critical point theory.
