Homoclinic solutions for nonautonomous second-order Hamiltonian systems with a coercive potential (Q5919229)

Let \(F\in C^1(R\times R^n,R)\) be a \(T\)-periodic function with respect to \(t\) (\(T>0\)), \(f: R \to R^n\) be a continuous and bounded function. The second-order Hamiltonian system \[ \ddot{u}(t)=\nabla(F(t,u(t)))+f(t) \] is considered. Using more general conditions on the right-hand side than other researches, the authors prove the existence of homoclinic orbits for such systems.
