A class of Hamiltonian systems with increasing periods.
In this work we will be concerned with the existence of almost homoclinic solutions for a Newtonian system , where t ∈ ℝ, q ∈ ℝⁿ. It is assumed that a potential V: ℝ × ℝⁿ → ℝ is C¹-smooth and its gradient map is bounded with respect to t. Moreover, a forcing term f: ℝ → ℝⁿ is continuous, bounded and square integrable. We will show that the approximative scheme due to J. Janczewska (see [J2]) for a time periodic potential extends to our case.
An affine Cartan calculus is developed. The concepts of special affine bundles and special affine duality are introduced. The canonical isomorphisms, fundamental for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of the dynamics in the affine setting are proved.
