Abstract: We study the existence of homoclinic type solutions for second order Lagrangian systems of the type $ddotq(t)-q(t)+a(t)ablaG(q(t))=f(t)$, where $tinmathbbR$, $qinmathbb{R}^n$, $acolonmathbbRomathbbR$ is a continuous positive bounded function, $Gcolonmathbb{R}^{n}omathbbR$ is a $C^1$-smooth potential satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz superquadratic growth condition and $fcolonmathbbRomathbb{R}^n$ is a continuous bounded square integrable forcing term. A homoclinic type solution is obtained as limit of $2k$-periodic solutions of an approximative sequence of second order differential equations.

Review text

The authors prove the existence of a solution for the second-order Lagrangian system \[\begin{cases}\ddot{q}(t)-q(t)+a(t)\nabla G(q(t))=f(t)\\ \lim_{t\rightarrow\pm\infty}q(t)=\lim_{t\rightarrow\pm\infty}\dot{q}(t)=0,\end{cases},\] where \(a:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) is a continuous positive bounded function, \(G:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\), \(n\geq 1\), is a \(C^1\)-differentiable potential satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz superquadratic growth condition and \(f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n\) is a continuous bounded square integrable forcing term. The main result is given in Theorem 1.2 and it extends to the inhomogeneous systems the result by \textit{E. Serra} et al. [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire 13, No. 6, 783--812 (1996; Zbl 0873.58032)]. Some suggestive numerical examples are given at the end of the paper.\ Other papers of the second author directly connected to this topic are [Topol.
