On periodic motions of lattices of Toda type via critical point theory (Q1337984): Difference between revisions

The ordinary differential systems of Toda type are studied, in which the potential of the interaction between the \(n\)th and the \((n+1)\)st particle is superquadratic at \(-\infty\) and has weaker growth at \(+\infty\). Under fixed end points condition as well as the identified end points condition, the authors prove that there exist infinitely many \(T\)- periodic solutions for every \(T>0\). The global variational method and the relative \(S^ 1\)-index theory are used.
