Title: Nontrivial periodic solutions of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems Author: Guihua Fei (Univ. of Minnesota, Duluth, MN, USA.) Abstract: We study the existence of periodic solutions for some asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems. By using the Saddle Point Theorem and Conley index theory, we obtain new results under asymptotically linear conditions. Submitted September 14, 2001. Published November 19, 2001.
