Some existence and multiplicity results for periodic solutions of second order nonautonomous systems with the potentials changing sign are presented. The proofs of the existence results rely on the use of a linking theorem and the Mountain Pass theorem by Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz [2]. The multiplicity results are deduced by the study of constrained critical points of minimum or Mountain Pass type.
The existence of solutions with prescribed period for a class of Hamiltonian systems with a Keplerian singularity is discussed.
We consider perturbations of n-dimensional maps having homo-heteroclinic connections of compact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We justify the applicability of the Poincaré-Melnikov method by following a geometric approach. Several examples are included.
In this paper we provide the greatest lower bound about the number of (non-infinitesimal) limit cycles surrounding a unique singular point for a planar polynomial differential system of arbitrary degree.
We study the resurgent structure associated with a Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This equation is obtained as the inner equation when studying the separatrix splitting problem for a perturbed pendulum via complex matching. We derive the Bridge equation, which encompasses infinitely many resurgent relations satisfied by the formal solution and the other components of the formal integral.
We propose a new rigorous numerical technique to prove the existence of symmetric homoclinic orbits in reversible dynamical systems. The essential idea is to calculate Melnikov functions by the exponential dichotomy and the rigorous numerics. The algorithm of our method is explained in detail by dividing into four steps. An application to a two dimensional reversible system is also treated and the existence of a symmetric homoclinic orbit is rigorously verified as an example.
