This paper deals with the following Hamiltonian system (H): \[ J\dot u+A(t)u+\nabla H(t,u)=0, \] where \(J\) is the symplectic matrix, \(A(t)\) is a symmetric \(2N\times 2N\) matrix continuous, \(A\) and \(H\) are \(2\pi\)-periodic in \(t\). The main purpose of the present paper is to apply the notion of limit relative category depending on a functional \(f\) to establish the existence of multiple periodic solutions to the Hamiltonian system (H) with periodic nonlinearity and superquadratic growth in some spatial variables. For part I, cf. [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser. A, Theory Methods 72, No. 7--8, 3356--3375 (2010; Zbl 1185.58006)].
