A \(K\)-theoretical invariant and bifurcation for homoclinics of Hamiltonian systems (Q523360)

The authors consider the family of Hamiltonian systems \[ \begin{cases} Ju'(t) + \nabla_u\mathcal{H}_\lambda (t, u(t))=0, \quad t\in\mathbb{R},\\ \lim_{t\to\pm\infty} u(t)=0, \end{cases} \] where \(\mathcal{H}:X\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}\) is a continuous map such that \(\mathcal{H}_\lambda :=\mathcal{H}(\lambda,\cdot,\cdot): \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}\) is a \(C^2\) for all \(\lambda \in X\) (\(X\) is a compact topogical space) and its derivatives depend continuously on \(\lambda\in X\), and \[ J=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & - I_n\\ I_n & 0 \end{pmatrix}. \] The results of the first author [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 377, No. 2, 762--770 (2011; Zbl 1215.58008)] are applied to study bifurcations of homoclinic solutions which are parametrized by tori.
