Symmetric period solutions with prescribed minimal period for even autonomous semipositive Hamiltonian systems

We study some monotonicity and iteration inequality of the Maslov-type index i-1of linear Hamiltonian systems.As an application we prove the existence of symmetric periodic solutions with prescribed minimal period for first order nonlinear autonomous Hamiltonian systems which are semipositive,even,and superquadratic at zero and infinity.This result gives a positive answer to Rabinowitz’s minimal period conjecture in this case without strictly convex assumption.We also give a different proof of the existence of symmetric periodic solutions with prescribed minimal period for classical Hamiltonian systems which are semipositive,even,and superquadratic at zero and infinity which was proved by Fei,Kim and Wang in 2001.     

Proof and generalization of Kaplan-Yorke’s conjecture under the condition f ' (0) > 0 on periodic solution of differential delay equations

Using the theory of existence of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems, it is shown that many periodic solutions of differential delay equations can be yielded from many families of periodic solutions of the coupled generalized Hamiltonian systems. Some sufficient conditions on the existence of periodic solutions of differential delay equations are obtained. As a corollary of our results, the conjecture of Kaplan-Yorke on the search for periodic solutions for certain special classes of scalar differential delay equations is shown to be true when .

Symplectic Transformations and a Reduction Method for Asymptotically Linear Hamiltonian Systems

In many fields of applications, especially in applications from mechanics, many equations of motion can be written as Hamiltonian systems. In this paper, we study a class of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems. We construct a symplectic transformation which reduces the linear systems of the Hamiltonian systems. This reduction method can be applied to study the existence of periodic solutions for a class of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems under weaker conditions on the linear systems of the Hamiltonian systems.     

The iteration formula of the Maslov-type index theory with applications to nonlinear Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, the iteration formula of the Maslov-type index theory for linear Hamiltonian systems with continuous, periodic, and symmetric coefficients is established. This formula yields a new method to determine the minimality of the period for solutions of nonlinear autonomous Hamiltonian systems via their Maslov-type indices. Applications of this formula give new results on the existence of periodic solutions with prescribed minimal period for such systems, and unify known results under various convexity conditions.

Existence results of periodic solutions for non-autonomous differential delay equations with asymptotically linear properties

In this paper, we study a class of non-autonomous differential delay equations which can be changed to Hamiltonian systems. By estimating Maslov-type index of the related Hamiltonian systems at infinity and at origin, we establish the existence of periodic solutions of the differential delay equations.     

Periodic Solutions of Classical Hamiltonian Systems without Palais-Smale Condition

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions for classical Hamiltonian systems without the Palais-Smale condition. We prove that the information of the potential function contained in a finite domain is sufficient for the existence of periodic solutions. Moreover, we establish the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions without any symmetric condition on the potential function V.     

Multiple periodic solutions for non-canonical Hamiltonian systems with application to differential delay equations

We first establish Maslov index for non-canonical Hamiltonian system by using symplectic transformation for Hamiltonian system. Then the existence of multiple periodic solutions for the non-canonical Hamiltonian system is obtained by applying the Maslov index and Morse theory. As an application of the results, we study a class of non-autonomous differential delay equation which can be changed to non-canonical Hamiltonian system and obtain the existence of multiple periodic solutions for the equation by employing variational method.     

Multiple periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential

Under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term, the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems is established. Moreover, the existence of two non-trivial periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential is obtained, and the existence of three periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with coercive potential is pointed out. The approach is based on critical point theorems.     

The qualitative analysis of a class of planar Filippov systems

We use the theory of differential inclusions, Filippov transformations and some appropriate Poincaré maps to discuss the special case of two-dimensional discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems with two zones. This analysis applies to uniqueness and non-uniqueness for the initial value problem, stability of stationary points, sliding motion solutions, number of closed trajectories, existence of heteroclinic trajectories connecting two saddle points forming a heteroclinic cycle and existence of the homoclinic trajectory     

Lower bounds for the eigenvalues of first-order nonlinear Hamiltonian systems on time scales

We study first-order nonlinear planar Hamiltonian boundary value problems on time scales. Estimates on lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the problems are established by way of the Lyapunov inequality method. Our results are interpreted to nonlinear differential and difference planar Hamiltonian boundary value problems. As a special case, an estimate on lower bounds for eigenvalues of half-linear dynamic equations is obtained which generalizes and improves the existing ones to nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. Based on the main results, we establish existence and uniqueness of solutions of a related linear boundary value problem.     

Periodic solutions of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems

We prove existence and multiplicity results for periodic solutions of time dependent and time independent Hamiltonian equations, which are assumed to be asymptotically linear. The periodic solutions are found as critical points of a variational problem in a real Hilbert space. By means of a saddle point reduction this problem is reduced to the problem of finding critical points of a function defined on a finite dimensional subspace. The critical points are then found using generalized Morse theory and minimax arguments.     

On the existence of periodic solutions for large-scale systems

In recent ten years or more, many scholars have engaged in the investigation concerning the stability of large-scale systems, but up to the present, the problem on the existence of periodic solutions for large-scale systems has yet been seldomly touched upon in the literature.In this paper, by means of the method of constructing Lyapunov function. We study the problem on the existence of periodic solutions for linear and nonlinear large-scale systems, and obtain several sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of periodic solutions.     

Periodic and homoclinic solutions generated by impulses for asymptotically linear and sublinear Hamiltonian system

In this paper, we get the existence of periodic and homoclinic solutions for a class of asymptotically linear or sublinear Hamiltonian systems with impulsive conditions via variational methods. However, without impulses, there is no homoclinic or periodic solution for the system considered in this paper. Moreover, our results can be used to study the existence of periodic and homoclinic solutions of difference equations.     

MULTIPLE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF ASYMPTOTICALLY LINEAR NONAUTONOMOUS HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

Existence of solutions for sub-linear or super-linear operator equations

We investigate solutions to superlinear or sublinear operator equations and obtain some abstract existence results by minimax methods. These results apply to superlinear or sublinear Hamiltonian systems satisfying several boundary value conditions including Sturm-Liouville boundary value conditions and generalized periodic boundary value conditions, and yield some new theorems concerning existence of solutions or nontrivial solutions. In particular, some famous results about periodic solutions to superlinear or sublinear Hamiltonian systems by Rabinowitz or Benci and Rabinowitz are special cases of the theorems.
