An approximative scheme of finding almost homoclinic solutions for a class of Newtonian systems (Q1029930)

A solution \(q:{\mathbb R} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^ n\) of the Newtonian system \(q''+V_q(t,q)=f(t)\) is called almost homoclinic if \(\lim_{t \to \pm \infty}q(t)=0.\) It is assumed that the potential \(V:{\mathbb R}\times {\mathbb R}^ n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) is \(C^1-\)smooth and periodic in time. The function \(f\) is continuous, bounded and square integrable. Then it is shown that under additional assumptions there exists an almost homoclinic solution.
