Homoclinic solutions for second order Hamiltonian systems with general potentials (Q2836154)

Let \(t \in \mathbb {R}\) be a real number, \(L \in C(\mathbb {R},\mathbb {R}^2)\) be a symmetric and positive definite matrix for all \(t \in \mathbb {R}\). Suppose that \(\nabla W(t,u)\) is the gradient of \(W \in C(\mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^n, \mathbb {R})\) at \(u\). The authors study the existence of infinitely many homoclinic solutions for the following Hamiltonian systems:NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \ddot {u}(t)-L(t) u(t)+\nabla W\bigl (t,u(t)\bigr)=0. NEWLINE\]
