The article contains lecture notes of the 2nd school of nonlinear functional analysis and applications to differential equations in Trieste 1997. It discusses variational methods for the construction of multibump homoclinic and chaotic trajectories for time-periodic and autonomous finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. The notes consist of four sections. The first reviews three different variational methods for proving the existence of homoclinic orbits. The second section discusses the gluing of homoclinics for the construction of multibump chaotic trajectories. It also contains the classical shadowing result for transversal homoclinics, the Birkhoff-Smale theorem. The third section restricts to autonomous system where the situation is simpler, because one may use the Maupertuis-Jacobi functional instead of the Hamilton's functional which reduces the problem to Finsler geometry. The final section gives a criterion for the existence of chaotic trajectories in the case the configuration space is \(S^2\). For simplicity, only natural systems are treated. An application to rigid body dynamics is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0941.00024].
