Anti-periodic solutions for a gradient system with resonance via a variational approach (Q2862565)

The authors investigate the second-order differential equation with anti-periodic boundary conditions NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\begin{aligned} & \ddot{q}(t)+\lambda_{m}q(t)+\nabla F(t,q(t))=0,\;t\in[0,T],\\ & q(0)=-q(T),\;\dot{q}(0)=-\dot{q}(T), \end{aligned}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(T>0\), \(F:[0,T]\times\mathbb R^{N}\to\mathbb R\), \((t,p)\mapsto F(t,p)\) is measurable in \(t\) for every \(p\in\mathbb R^{N}\) and continuously differentiable in \(p\) for almost every \(t\in[0,T]\), \(\lambda_{m}\) is the \(m\)-th (\(m\in\mathbb N\)) eigenvalue of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. By using the dual least action principle and critical point theory, they obtain an existence result. In addition, they obtain the existence of \(2T\)-periodic solutions for \(\ddot{q}(t)+\lambda_{m}q(t)+\nabla F(t,q(t))=0\).
