Abstract:

We will be concerned with the existence of multiple periodic solutions of asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems with the presence of $Z_2$–action. To that purpose we prove a new version of the Bourgin–Yang theorem. Using the notion of the crossing number we also introduce a new definition of the Morse index for indefinite functionals.
