Generalized solutions of first order singular Hamiltonian systems

From MaRDI portal





The author studies the existence of \(T-\)periodic solutions of singular Hamiltonian systems of the form \[ \dot{q}= H_{p}(t,p(t),q(t)), \qquad \dot{p}= - H_{q}(t,p(t),q(t)), \] where \(p,q: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{N}, \;N \geq 3\) and \(H(t,p,q) \in C^{1 } (\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{N} \times (\mathbb{R}^{N} \setminus \{ 0 \}),\mathbb{R}),\) is \(T-\)periodic in \(t.\) The singularity of the Hamiltonian at \(q=0\), is of the type \(1/\beta | p | ^{\beta} - 1/| q | ^{\alpha}\), where \(1 < \alpha < \beta .\) In the proof, some methods of the critical point theory are used. First, a modified functional with respect to the usual one is considered. Then, an approximation argument is used. In this way, the author overcomes the difficulties related to the Palais-Smale compactness condition and proves the existence of at least one generalized (collision) \(T\)-periodic solution of the previous system. Moreover, assuming more precise hypotheses, he obtains some additional regularity (with finite collision set) of the generalized solutions.
