In this paper, by using the least action principle, Sobolev's inequality and Wirtinger's inequality, some existence theorems are obtained for periodic solutions of second-order Hamiltonian systems with a p-Laplacian under subconvex condition, sublinear growth condition and linear growth condition. Our results generalize and improve those in the literature.

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of periodic solutions for the non-autonomous second order Hamiltonian system $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\ddot{u}\left(t\right)=\nabla F(t,u\left(t\right)),\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)-u\left(T\right)=\dot{u}\left(0\right)-\dot{u}\left(T\right)=0.\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ Some new existence theorems are obtained by the least action principle.

The existence of solutions for boundary value problems for a nonlinear discrete system involving the $p$-Laplacian is investigated. The approach is based on critical point theory.
