Periodic solutions to superlinear planar Hamiltonian systems (Q442580)

The author generalizes some existence and multiplicity results for periodic solutions already established for scalar second order differential equations to planar Hamiltonian systems. He defines a notion of superlinearity for such systems which is rather general, and proves a theorem on the existence of infinitely many harmonic and subharmonic solutions. The proof makes use of a generalized version of the Poincaré-Birkhoff fixed point theorem in the plane.
