Multiplicity of periodic solutions for a class of second-order perturbed Hamiltonian systems (Q2207678)

The authors consider the following second-order Hamiltonian systems with non-autonomous perturbed term \[\left\{\begin{array}{l} \ddot{u}(t)+\nabla F(u) = \nabla_u G(t,u), ~~t \in \mathbb R,\\ u(0)-u(T)=\dot{u}(0)-\dot{u}(T)=0,~~ T>0, \end{array}\right.\] where \(F(u)=-K(u)+W(u),~K,~W \in C^2(\mathbb R^N,\mathbb R),~G \in C^2(\mathbb R \times \mathbb R^N,\mathbb R)\) with \(G(t+T,u)=G(t,u)\), \(K\) and \(W\) are even functions. It is assumed that \(G(t,u)\) has no parity in \(u\) and is subquadratic at infinity, \(W\) is superquadratic at infinity and \(K(u)/|u|^2\) is bounded by two constants. By using Bolle's perturbation method, the authors prove the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions. This extends some results in the current literature.
