Computations of cohomology groups and nontrivial periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems

By computing the E-critical groups at θ and infinity of the corresponding functional of Hamiltonian systems, we proved the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions for the systems which may be resonant at θ and infinity under some new conditions. Some results in the literature are extended and some new type of theorems are proved. The main tool is the E-Morse theory developed by Kryszewski and Szulkin. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
