Periodic solutions for a class of nonautonomous second-order systems (Q1877791): Difference between revisions

The existence of periodic solutions of the nonautonomous second-order system \(\ddot{u}=\nabla F(t,u(t))\), \(t\in [0,T]\), subject to the periodicity conditions \(u(0)-u(T)=\dot{u}(0)-\dot{u}(T)=0\), is investigated. Proofs use the least action principle.
