1 Introduction and main results

Consider the following second-order Hamiltonian systems:

(1.1) u ¨ ( t ) = F ( t , u ( t ) ) , a.e. t [ 0 , T ] , u ( 0 ) u ( T ) = u ˙ ( 0 ) u ˙ ( T ) = 0 ,

where constant T > 0 and the function F : [ 0 , T ] × R N R satisfies the following condition:

( A ) F ( t , x ) is measurable in t for each x R N , continuously differentiable in x for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] , and there exist a C ( R + ; R + ) and b L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R + ) such that

F ( t , x ) a ( x ) b ( t ) , F ( t , x ) a ( x ) b ( t ) , x R N and a.e. t [ 0 , T ] ,

where F ( t , x ) denotes the gradient of F ( t , x ) in x .

In the sequel of this article, we may as well suppose that F ( t , θ ) = 0 and define the usual Sobolev space as

H T 1 = { u : [ 0 , T ] R N u is absolutely continuous , u ( 0 ) = u ( T ) , u ˙ L 2 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R N ) } ,

which is a Hilbert space with the norm

u = 0 T ( u ˙ ( t ) 2 + u ( t ) 2 ) d t 1 2 , u H T 1 .

We denote by , and ( , ) the inner product in H T 1 and R N , respectively.

From [9], we can see that the corresponding functional φ of problem (1.1) defined in H T 1 is

(1.2) φ ( u ) = 1 2 0 T u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t + 0 T F ( t , u ( t ) ) d t ,

which is continuously differentiable and weakly lower semi-continuous (w.l.s.c.) under the condition ( A ) . Furthermore, there holds

(1.3) φ ( u ) , v = 0 T ( ( u ˙ ( t ) , v ˙ ( t ) ) + ( F ( t , u ( t ) ) , v ( t ) ) ) d t , u , v H T 1 .

So a solution of problem (1.1) corresponds to a critical point of φ .

Reviewing the history, the existence of periodic solutions for problem (1.1) was considered by using the least action principle or the minimax methods under various conditions on the potential function F . For examples, in [2], it was considered under the coercive-type condition. The Ambrossiti-Rabinowitz superquadratic condition was proposed on F in [13]. With the convex condition supposed on F , it was studied in [8]. It was considered under the bi-even subquadratic condition in [5], the bounded nonlinearity condition in [9], the γ -quasisubadditive potential condition in [17], the sublinear nonlinearity potential condition in [19], the linear nonlinearity potential condition in [12,20,25,26], the generalized sublinear nonlinearity potential condition in [23,24], the generalized linear nonlinearity potential condition in [27], and some other conditions in [1,4,7,16] and references therein.

When gradient F ( t , x ) is provided with bounded nonlinearity, i.e., there exists a function g L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R + ) such that

(1.4) F ( t , x ) g ( t ) ,

for each x R N and a.e. t [ 0 , T ] , and F ( t , x ) satisfies the following condition:

(1.5) 0 T F ( t , x ) d t ± , as x + ,

Mawhin and Willem [9] proved that problem (1.1) possesses one periodic solution.

When gradient F ( t , x ) is sublinear nonlinearity, i.e., there exist f , g L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R + ) and α [ 0 , 1 ) such that

(1.6) F ( t , x ) f ( t ) x α + g ( t )

for each x R N and a.e. t [ 0 , T ] , and F ( t , x ) satisfies the following condition:

(1.7) 1 x 2 α 0 T F ( t , x ) d t ± , as x + ,

Tang [19] obtained the existence of periodic solutions for problem (1.1), which is a generalization of Mawhin-Willem’s results in [9].

When α = 1 , condition (1.6) is called the linear-type condition, i.e., there exist f , g L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R + ) such that

(1.8) F ( t , x ) f ( t ) x + g ( t ) , x R N , a.e. t [ 0 , T ] .

In this case, Zhao and Wu [25,26] proved that problem (1.1) has one periodic solution under the conditions

(1.9) 0 T f ( t ) d t < 12 T

and

(1.10) 1 x 2 0 T F ( t , x ) d t ± , as x + .

When potential F ( t , x ) has the decomposition F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) , where F 1 ( t , x ) is ( λ , μ ) -subconvex in x , i.e., the function F 1 ( t , ) : R N R satisfies the following condition:

(1.11) F 1 ( t , λ ( x + y ) ) μ ( F 1 ( t , x ) + F 1 ( t , y ) ) ,

for some λ , μ > 0 and each x , y R N and gradient F 2 ( t , x ) is sublinear-type condition, i.e., F 2 ( t , x ) satisfies the condition (1.6), Wu and Tang [22] obtained the existence of periodic solutions for problem (1.1) under the following assumption:

(1.12) 1 x 2 α 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ x ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t + , as x + .

When α = 1 , Zhao and Wu [25] considered the existence of periodic solutions for problem (1.1) where F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) , F 1 ( t , x ) is ( λ , μ ) -subconvex in x , F 2 ( t , x ) satisfies condition (1.6) with 0 T f ( t ) d t < 12 T , and F ( t , x ) satisfies (1.12).

Wang and Zhang [23] obtained some results by using a control function h ( x ) instead of x in (1.6) and (1.7), where h satisfies the following conditions with α [ 0 , 1 ] .

( H α ) There exist constants C 0 > 0 , K 1 > 0 , K 2 > 0 , and a nonnegative function h C ( [ 0 , + ) ; [ 0 , + ) ) with the properties:

( i ) h ( s ) h ( t ) , s t , s , t [ 0 , + ) , ( ii ) h ( s + t ) C 0 ( h ( s ) + h ( t ) ) , s , t [ 0 , + ) , ( iii ) 0 h ( t ) K 1 t α + K 2 , t [ 0 , + ) , ( iv ) h ( t ) + , as t + .

Similar to the discussion of Meng-Tang’s results in [12,20], Zhang and Tang [27] also obtained some new results when using a control function h ( x ) instead of x , where h ( x ) satisfies ( H α ) with α [ 0 , 1 ] .

In this article, motivated by previous studies [4,1012,20,23,25,27], we consider the existence and multiplicity of problem (1.1) with mixed nonlinearity. Precisely, we write the potential function in the form F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with the function F 1 ( t , x ) having the following conditions:

( H 1 ) F 1 ( t , ) is ( λ , μ ) -subconvex with λ > 1 2 and μ < 2 λ 2 for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] .

( H 1 * ) F 1 ( t , ) is ( λ , μ ) -subconvex with 0 < λ < 1 2 and 2 λ 2 < μ 1 2 for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] .

( H 2 ) There exist γ L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R ) and ξ L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R N ) where 0 T ξ ( t ) d t = 0 such that

(1.13) F 1 ( t , x ) ( ξ ( t ) , x ) + γ ( t ) , x R N and a.e. t [ 0 , T ] .

( H 2 * ) There exist γ L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R ) and ξ L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R N ) satisfying (1.13).

Assume that F 2 ( t , x ) satisfies the following conditions.

( H 3 ) There exist f , g L 1 ( [ 0 , T ] ; R + ) and h satisfies ( H α ) such that

(1.14) F 2 ( t , x ) f ( t ) h ( x ) + g ( t ) , x R N and a.e. t [ 0 , T ] .

( f 1 ) f < 2 π 2 ( C 0 K 1 T 2 ) .

( H 3 * ) (1.14) holds with h satisfying (i), (ii), (iv) of ( H α ) and instead condition (iii) with the following condition:

( iii ) There exist K 1 , K 2 0 , K 1 , K 2 0 , and α ( 1 2 , 1 ] satisfying 0 K 1 t α + K 2 h ( t ) K 1 t + K 2 , t [ 0 , + ) .

( H 4 ) There holds liminf x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 T 2 f L 2 2 8 π 2 .

( H 4 * ) There holds liminf x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 T 2 f L 2 2 8 π 2 4 C 0 K 1 T 2 f .

Together on the functions F 1 ( t , x ) and F 2 ( t , x ) , we have the following conditions.

( H 5 ) There holds liminf x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ x ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 T 2 f L 2 2 8 π 2 .

( H 5 * ) There holds liminf x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ x ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 T 2 f L 2 2 8 π 2 4 C 0 K 1 T 2 f .

( H 6 ) There holds liminf x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 T 2 f L 2 2 8 π 2 .

( H 6 * ) There holds liminf x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 T 2 f L 2 2 8 π 2 4 C 0 K 1 T 2 f .

( H 7 ) There exist positive integer k and r > 0 such that

1 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 ω 2 x 2 F ( t , x ) 1 2 k 2 ω 2 x 2 , x r and a.e. t [ 0 , T ] ,

where ω = 2 π T .

Theorem 1.1

Assume that F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with the condition ( H 1 ) . We have two cases

Case 1: F i ( t , x ) , i = 1 , 2 satisfy ( H 3 ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) and ( H 5 ) .

Case 2: F i ( t , x ) , i = 1 , 2 satisfy ( H 3 ) with α = 1 , ( f 1 ) and ( H 5 * ) .

Then, problem (1.1) possesses a periodic solution that minimizes the function φ in H T 1 .

Remark 1

Theorem 1.1 generalizes Theorem 1.1 or Theorem 1.3 of [27]. When F 1 ( t , x ) = 0 , our Theorem 1.1 is Theorem 1.1 or is a special case of Theorem 1.3 of [27]. It cannot be covered by the results of [4], for example, take F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with

F 1 ( t , x ) = 4 + sin x 6 and F 2 ( t , x ) = 1 2 sin 2 π t T ln 3 2 ( 1 + x 2 ) + T 6 ln ( 1 + x 2 ) 4 .

Then, we obtain F 2 ( t , x ) 3 4 sin 2 π t T ln 1 2 ( 1 + x 2 ) + T 6 for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] and all x R N . Therefore, we see that ( H 1 ) and ( H 3 ) hold with F 1 ( t , x ) is ( 1 , 1 ) -subconvex, f ( t ) = 3 4 sin 2 π t T , g ( t ) = T 6 , and h ( x ) = ln ( 1 + x 2 ) . By taking C 0 = 2 , we see that the condition ( H 5 ) is satisfied for any T ( 0 , 32 π 2 27 ) . But it does not satisfy the condition ( H 3 ) of Theorem 1.1 in [4] in general. We also note that F ( t , x ) does not satisfy ( H 5 ) of Theorem 1.2 of [4]. It is easy see that the function F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with

F 1 ( t , x ) = 4 + sin x 6 and F 2 ( t , x ) = 1 2 ln 2 ( 1 + x 2 ) + sin 2 π t T ln ( 1 + x 2 ) 4

satisfies ( H 1 ) , ( H 3 * ) , ( H 5 * ) of Theorem 1.1 but it does not satisfy ( H 5 ) of Theorem 1.2 of [4].

Theorem 1.2

Assume that F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with the condition ( H 1 * ) . We have two cases

Case 1: F i ( t , x ) , i = 1 , 2 satisfy ( H 3 ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) and ( H 6 ) .

Case 2: F i ( t , x ) , i = 1 , 2 satisfy ( H 3 ) with α = 1 , ( f 1 ) and ( H 6 * ) .

Then, problem (1.1) possesses one periodic solution that minimizes the function φ in H T 1 .

Remark 2

Theorem 1.2 generalizes Theorem 1 of [10] or Theorem 1 of [11]. It cannot be covered by the results of [4]. For instance, the function F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with

F 1 ( t , x ) = 4 + x 1 2 + sin x 4 and F 2 ( t , x ) = x 2 4 ln ( 100 + x 2 ) + sin 2 π t T ln ( 1 + x 2 ) + 4

satisfies all conditions of Theorem 1.2, but it does not satisfy the conditions of Theorem 1.1 and 1.2 in [4].

Theorem 1.3

Assume that F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) . We have three cases

Case 1: assume ( H 2 ) , ( H 3 ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) and ( H 4 ) .

Case 2: assume ( H 2 ) , ( H 3 ) with α = 1 , ( f 1 ) and ( H 4 * ) .

Case 3: assume ( H 2 * ) , ( H 3 * ) , ( f 1 ), and ( H 4 * ) .

Then, in every case of the aforementioned three cases, problem (1.1) possesses one periodic solution that minimizes the function φ in H T 1 .

Remark 3

Theorem 1.3 generalizes the results of Theorem 3 of [22] and Theorem 5 of [25]. It cannot be covered by the results of [4], for example, the function F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with

F 1 ( t , x ) = 9 + x 1 + sin x 4 and F 2 ( t , x ) = 1 2 ln 2 ( 1 + x 2 ) + sin 2 π t T ln ( 1 + x 2 ) + 9 , x R N

satisfies all conditions of Theorem 1.3, but it does not satisfy the conditions of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 in [4]. Our results (Theorems 1.1–1.3) also cannot be covered by the results of [6,14,21,28,29], which considered the ordinary p ( t ) -Laplacian differential system.

We now state a result about the multiplicity for problem (1.1). For this topic, we refer the articles [4,16,18,19,23,24,26] and references therein.

Theorem 1.4

Assume that F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) satisfies ( H 7 ) and the conditions of Theorem 1.3. Then, problem (1.1) possesses at least three distinct solutions in H T 1 .

Remark 4

There are many functions satisfying all the conditions of Theorem 1.4. For example, take the function F ( t , x ) = F 1 ( t , x ) + F 2 ( t , x ) with

F 1 ( t , x ) = 5 + x 1 + sin x 4 sin 1 , x = ( x 1 , x 2 , , x N ) R N , x > 1 , 5 1 4 ω 2 x 2 + 1 2 ω 2 + 2 + 2 5 x 1 x 4 1 4 ω 2 + 1 + 1 5 x 1 x 6 , x 1 , F 2 ( t , x ) = x 2 ln ( 100 + x 2 ) 1 ln 101 , x > 1 , 1 4 ω 2 x 2 + 1 2 ω 2 x 4 1 4 ω 2 x 6 , x 1 ,

and 0 < T < π 2 34 . It is easy to see that F ( t , x ) satisfies the conditions ( H 2 ) , ( H 3 ) , ( H 4 * ) , and ( H 7 ) with ξ ( t ) = ( sin 2 π T t , 0 , , 0 ) , γ ( t ) = 10 , f ( t ) = 4 , g ( t ) = 5 , h ( x ) = x ln ( 100 + x 2 ) , C 0 = K 1 = 1 , and k = 1 , r > 0 small enough. The condition ( f 1 ) also hold by the aforementioned assumption.

2 Preliminaries and proofs of theorems

In this section, we first introduce three lemmas that contribute to the proof of Theorems 1.1–1.4 as follows.

Lemma 2.1

[9] If u H ˜ T 1 , where H ˜ T 1 = { u H T 1 0 T u ( t ) d t = 0 } , then Wirtinger’s inequality says

0 T u ( t ) 2 d t T 2 4 π 2 0 T u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t ,

and the Sobolev inequality is

u 2 T 12 0 T u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t .

Lemma 2.2

[15] Assume V is a reflexive Banach space with norm V , and let M V be a weakly closed subset of V. Assume E : M R + is coercive and (sequentially) w.l.s.c on M with respect to V, i.e., assume the following conditions are satisfied.

  1. E ( u ) + as u V + , u M .

  2. For all u M , all sequence ( u m ) in M such that u m u weakly in V, there holds:

    E ( u ) liminf m + E ( u m ) .

    Then, E is bounded from below on M and attains its infimum in M.

Lemma 2.3

[3] Let X be a Banach space with a direct sum decomposition X = X 1 X 2 with k = dim X 2 < and φ C 1 ( X ; R ) with φ ( θ ) = 0 , which satisfies (PS) condition. Suppose that for some r > 0 ,

(2.1) φ ( u ) 0 , u X 1 w i t h u r , φ ( u ) 0 , u X 2 w i t h u r .

Suppose also that φ is bounded below and inf X φ < 0 . Then, φ possesses at least three distinct critical points.

Next, we give the proofs of our theorems. In the sequel, we denote by C a suitable positive constant, which may take different values in various estimations. Taking H T 1 = M = V and φ = E , we will use Lemma 2.2 to prove Theorems 1.1–1.3. Since φ is w.l.s.c. and continuously differentiable, we only need to claim that φ satisfies the condition of ( 1 ) of Lemma 2.2.

Proof of Theorem 1.1

As Theorem 1.1 stated, we divided our proof into two cases.

Proof of Case 1. Let β = log 2 λ ( 2 μ ) , by ( H 1 ) , we have 0 β < 2 . There exists a positive integer n so that for x > 1 ,

n 1 < log 2 λ x n ,

which implies x β > ( 2 λ ) ( n 1 ) β = ( 2 μ ) n 1 and x ( 2 λ ) n . Therefore, combining conditions ( A ) and ( H 1 ) , we obtain

F 1 ( t , x ) 2 μ F 1 t , x 2 λ ( 2 μ ) n F 1 t , x ( 2 λ ) n 2 μ x β a 0 b ( t )

for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] and every x > 1 , where a 0 = max 0 s 1 a ( s ) . Furthermore, we obtain

(2.2) F 1 ( t , x ) ( 2 μ x β + 1 ) a 0 b ( t )

for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] and every x R N .

Since F 1 ( t , ) is ( λ , μ ) -subconvex, we obtain

F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) μ ( F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) + F 1 ( t , u ˜ ( t ) ) ) ,

with u = u ¯ + u ˜ where u ¯ = 1 T 0 T u ( t ) d t and u ˜ H ˜ T 1 , i.e.,

(2.3) F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) 1 μ F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) F 1 ( t , u ˜ ( t ) ) .

It follows from the Sobolev inequality in Lemma 2.1, (2.2), and (2.3) that

(2.4) 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ˜ ( t ) ) d t 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) d t 2 μ a 0 0 T u ˜ ( t ) β b ( t ) d t a 0 0 T b ( t ) d t 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) 2 μ a 0 u ˜ β 0 T b ( t ) d t a 0 0 T b ( t ) d t 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) C u ˙ L 2 β C .

According to ( H 5 ) , there exists a constant a 1 > T 2 2 π 2 > 0 satisfying

(2.5) lim x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ x ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 1 4 f L 2 2 .

It follows from ( H 3 ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) Hölder inequality and Lemma 2.1 that

(2.6) 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t = 0 T 0 1 ( F 2 ( t , u ¯ + s u ˜ ( t ) ) , u ˜ ( t ) ) d s d t 0 T 0 1 ( f ( t ) h ( u ¯ + s u ˜ ( t ) ) + g ( t ) ) u ˜ ( t ) d s d t 0 T 0 1 C 0 f ( t ) ( h ( u ¯ ) + h ( u ˜ ) ) u ˜ ( t ) d s d t + u ˜ 0 T g ( t ) d t C 0 h ( u ¯ ) 0 T f ( t ) u ˜ ( t ) d t + C 0 K 1 u ˜ α + 1 0 T f ( t ) d t + u ˜ C 0 K 2 0 T f ( t ) d t + 0 T g ( t ) d t C 0 h ( u ¯ ) 0 T f ( t ) 2 d t 1 2 0 T u ˜ ( t ) 2 d t 1 2 + C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 + C u ˙ L 2 C 0 1 C 0 a 1 u ˜ L 2 2 + C 0 a 1 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 + C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 + C u ˙ L 2 T 2 4 a 1 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + C 0 2 a 1 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 + C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 + C u ˙ L 2 .

Combining (2.4), (2.6), and the definition of φ in (1.2), we obtain

(2.7) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 1 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 1 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 C u ˙ L 2 + 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 β C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 1 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 C u ˙ L 2 C u ˙ L 2 β C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C 0 2 a 1 4 f L 2 2 .

Since u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , combining (2.5), (2.7), and (iv) of ( H α ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) , we have φ ( u ) + as u + . Therefore, by Lemma 2.2, we prove that Case 1 holds.

Proof of Case 2. By ( H 5 * ) and ( f 1 ) , there exists a constant a 2 > T 2 2 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f > 0 satisfying

(2.8) lim x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ x ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 2 4 f L 2 2 .

Combining ( H 3 ) with α = 1 and Lemma 2.1, we have

From (2.4), (2.9), and (1.2), we obtain

(2.10) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 2 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 2 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 + 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 β C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 2 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 C u ˙ L 2 β C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ¯ ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C 0 2 a 2 4 f L 2 2 .

Since u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , so by (2.8), (2.10) and (iv) of ( H α ) with α = 1 , we obtain φ ( u ) + as u + . Thus, by Lemma 2.2, we complete the proof of Case 2. Hence, we complete the proof of Theorem 1.1.□

Proof of Theorem 1.2

We should divide the proof into two cases.

Proof of Case 1. Let β = log 2 λ ( 2 μ ) , then from ( H 1 * ) , we have 0 β < 2 . For x > 1 , there exists positive integer n satisfying

n log 2 λ x < ( n 1 ) .

Then, we obtain x β 1 ( 2 λ ) ( n 1 ) β = 1 ( 2 μ ) n 1 and x 1 ( 2 λ ) n . It follows from conditions ( H 1 * ) and ( A ) that

F 1 ( t , x ) 1 2 μ F 1 ( t , 2 λ x ) 1 2 μ 1 ( 2 μ ) ( n 1 ) F 1 ( t , ( 2 λ ) n x ) x β a 0 b ( t ) 2 μ

for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] and each x 1 , where a 0 = max 0 s 1 a ( s ) . What’s more, one obtain

(2.11) F 1 ( t , x ) 1 2 μ x β + 1 a 0 b ( t ) ,

for a.e. t [ 0 , T ] and each x R N .

As F 1 ( t , ) is ( λ , μ ) -subconvex, then we have

F 1 ( t , λ u ˜ ( t ) ) μ ( F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) + F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) ) ,

i.e.,

(2.12) 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ˜ ( t ) ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t .

Hence, combining (2.11), (2.12), and Sobolev inequality, we obtain

(2.13) 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t 1 μ 0 T F 1 ( t , λ u ˜ ( t ) ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 μ 0 T 1 2 μ u ˜ ( t ) β + 1 a 0 b ( t ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 μ 1 2 μ u ˜ β + 1 0 T a 0 b ( t ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 β C 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t .

According to ( H 6 ) , there is a constant a 3 > T 2 2 π 2 > 0 satisfying

(2.14) lim x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 3 4 f L 2 2 .

By (2.6), where a 3 instead of a 1 , (2.13), and (1.2), we have

(2.15) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 3 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 3 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 C u ˙ L 2 β C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 3 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 C u ˙ L 2 C u ˙ L 2 β C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C 0 2 a 3 4 f L 2 2 .

Since u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , from (2.14), (2.15), and (iv) of ( H α ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) , we derive φ ( u ) + as u + . According to Lemma 2.2, we complete the proof of Case 1.

Proof of Case 2. By ( H 6 * ) and ( f 1 ) , there is a constant a 4 > T 2 2 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f > 0 so that

(2.16) lim x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 4 4 f L 2 2 .

It follows from (2.9), where a 4 instead of a 2 , (2.13), and (1.2) that

(2.17) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 4 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 4 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 C u ˙ L 2 β C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 4 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 C u ˙ L 2 β C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 0 T F 1 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C 0 2 a 4 4 f L 2 2 .

As u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , then combining (2.16), (2.17), and (iv) of ( H α ) with α = 1 , we obtain φ ( u ) + as u + . By Lemma 2.2, we prove that Case 2 holds. Therefore, we complete the proof of Theorem 1.2.□

Proof of Theorem 1.3

We have three cases to prove.

Proof of Case 1. From ( H 2 ) , one obtain

(2.18) 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t 0 T ( ξ ( t ) , u ¯ + u ˜ ( t ) ) d t + 0 T γ ( t ) d t = 0 T ( ξ ( t ) , u ˜ ( t ) ) d t + 0 T γ ( t ) d t u ˜ 0 T ξ ( t ) d t + 0 T γ ( t ) d t C u ˙ L 2 C .

By ( H 4 ) , there is a constant a 5 > T 2 2 π 2 > 0 so that

(2.19) lim x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 5 4 f L 2 2 .

Then, combining (2.6), where a 5 instead of a 1 , (2.18), and (1.2), we have

(2.20) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 5 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 5 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 C u ˙ L 2 C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 5 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 α + 1 C u ˙ L 2 C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C 0 2 a 5 4 f L 2 2 .

Since u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , it follows from (2.19), (2.20), and (iv) of ( H α ) with α [ 0 , 1 ) that φ ( u ) + as u + . It follows from Lemma 2.1 that Case 1 holds.

Proof of Case 2. By ( H 4 * ) and ( f 1 ) , there exists a constant a 6 > T 2 2 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f > 0 satisfying

(2.21) lim x + 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 6 4 f L 2 2 .

From (2.9), where a 6 instead of a 2 , (2.18), and (1.2), we have

(2.22) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 6 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 6 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 6 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C 0 2 a 6 4 f L 2 2 .

Since u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , hence according to (2.21), (2.22), and (iv) of ( H α ) with α = 1 , we obtain φ ( u ) + as u + . From Lemma 2.2, we complete the proof of Case 2.

Proof of Case 3. It follows from ( H 2 * ) that

(2.23) 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t 0 T ( ξ ( t ) , u ¯ + u ˜ ( t ) ) d t + 0 T γ ( t ) d t 0 T ξ ( t ) u ˜ ( t ) d t 0 T ξ ( t ) u ¯ d t + 0 T γ ( t ) d t u ˜ 0 T ξ ( t ) d t u ¯ 0 T ξ ( t ) d t + 0 T γ ( t ) d t C u ˙ L 2 C u ¯ C .

From ( H 4 * ) and ( f 1 ) , there is a constant a 7 > T 2 2 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f > 0 such that

(2.24) lim x 1 h 2 ( x ) 0 T F 2 ( t , x ) d t > C 0 2 a 7 4 f L 2 2 .

Combining (2.9), where a 7 instead of a 2 , (2.23), and (1.2), we obtain

(2.25) φ ( u ) = 1 2 u ˙ L 2 2 + 0 T F 1 ( t , u ( t ) ) d t + 0 T ( F 2 ( t , u ( t ) ) F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) ) d t + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t 1 2 T 2 4 a 7 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C 0 2 a 7 4 h 2 ( u ¯ ) f L 2 2 + 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ˙ L 2 C u ¯ C = 1 2 T 2 4 a 7 π 2 C 0 K 1 T 2 f 4 π 2 u ˙ L 2 2 C u ˙ L 2 C + h 2 ( u ¯ ) 1 h 2 ( u ¯ ) 0 T F 2 ( t , u ¯ ) d t C u ¯ h 2 ( u ¯ ) C 0 2 a 7 4 f L 2 2 .

Since u + ( u ¯ 2 + u ˙ L 2 2 ) 1 2 + , so by (2.24), (2.25), and ( H 3 * ) , we obtain φ ( u ) + as u + . By Lemma 2.2, we infer that Case 3 holds. Hence, the proof of Theorem 1.3 is complete.□

Proof of Theorem 1.4

First, we check that functional φ satisfies (PS) condition. In fact, assume sequence { u n } is a (PS) sequence, i.e., { φ ( u n ) } is bounded and φ ( u n ) 0 as n + , then from the proof of Theorem 1.3, we see that φ satisfies the coercive condition, which means that { u n } is bounded. Since H T 1 is a reflexive Banach space, u n u in H T 1 in subsequence sense. From Sobelev’s embedding theorem, we obtain u n u in C ( [ 0 , T ] , R N ) . Then, we obtain

0 T u ˙ n ( t ) u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t = φ ( u n ) φ ( u ) , u n u 0 T ( F ( t , u n ( t ) ) F ( t , u ( t ) ) , u n ( t ) u ( t ) ) d t 0 , as n + ,

which means u ˙ n u ˙ L 2 0 . Then, we have u n u in H T 1 . So we prove that functional φ satisfies (PS) condition.

Next, we will verify that condition (2.1) of Lemma 2.3 holds. Let X = H T 1 , and write X = X 1 X 2 , X 2 = X 1 with

X 2 = j = 0 k ( a j cos j ω t + b j sin j ω t ) a j , b j R N , j = 0 , , k .

Then, we have

0 T u ( t ) 2 d t = T j = 0 k a j 2 + b j 2 2 , 0 T u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t = T ω 2 j = 0 k j 2 a j 2 + b j 2 2 , u X 2 .

According to Sobelev’s embedding theorem, there holds u C u . By ( H 7 ) , we have

(2.26) φ ( u ) 1 2 0 T u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t 1 2 k 2 ω 2 0 T u ( t ) 2 d t 0 , u X 2 , u r C .

In a same way, we obtain

φ ( u ) 1 2 0 T u ˙ ( t ) 2 d t 1 2 ( k + 1 ) 2 ω 2 0 T u ( t ) 2 d t 0 , u X 1 , u r C .

Now, we have two cases.

Case 1. If inf X φ < 0 , by Lemma 2.3, we prove that functional φ possesses at least three critical points in H T 1 .

Case 2. If inf X φ 0 , according to (2.26), we obtain φ ( u ) = 0 for any u X 2 with u r C . Thus, functional φ has infinitely many critical points.

Hence, we complete the proof of Theorem 1.4.□
