## Periodic solutions for some nonautonomous second-order systems.(English)Zbl 1024.34036

Some existence theorems are obtained for periodic solutions to second-order systems using the least action principle and minimax methods. The second-order system considered is of the form $\ddot u=\nabla F(t, u(t)),\quad u(0)- u(T)= 0,\qquad\dot u(0)-\dot u(T)= 0,$ where $$T> 0$$ and $$F: [0,T]\times \mathbb{R}^N\to\mathbb{R}$$ and $$F$$ satisfies specified conditions.
