HOMOCLINIC ORBITS FOR A CLASS OF THE SECOND ORDER HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

The existence of homoclinic orbits is obtained by the variational approach for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems q(t)+▽V(t,q(t))=0,where V(t,x)=-K(t,x)+W(t,x),K(t,x) is neither a quadratic form in x nor periodic in t and W(t,x) is superquadratic in x.
