Abstract:
Asymptotically quadratic and subquadratic autonomous Hamiltonian
systems are considered. Lower bounds for the number of periodic solutions
with a prescribed minimal period are obtained. These bounds are expressed
in terms of the numbers of frequencies corresponding to the critical points
of the Hamiltonian. Results are based on a global analysis
of families of periodic solutions emanating from these points.
