Multiple periodic solutions to nonlinear discrete Hamiltonian systems (Q2472259)

The author considers discrete Hamiltonian systems that are discrete analogs of the continuous systems of the form \( \dot x(t) =J\nabla H(x(t)), \) where \(J\) is the standard symplectic matrix, \(\nabla H\) is the gradient of a function \(H\). Using the Morse Index theory he gives several sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple \(p\)-periodic solutions to the discrete systems with \(p\) being a prime number.
