Nontrivial periodic solutions to second-order impulsive Hamiltonian systems

John R. Graef, Shapour Heidarkhani, Lingju Kong

Abstract:
Based on variational methods and critical point theory, we study the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions to a class of second-order impulsive Hamiltonian systems. A unique feature of the approach used here is that we use a combination of techniques to obtain the existence of multiple solutions.
