Abstract

We consider the second order Hamiltonian system: q.+V′(q)=0 where q = (q₁, …, q_N) ∈ R^N(N ≧ 3) and V:R^N\{e} → R(e ∈ R^N) is a potential with a singularity, i.e., |V(q)| → ∞ as q →e. We prove the existence of a homoclinic orbit of (HS) under suitable assumptions. Our main assumptions are the strong force condition of Gordon [8] and the uniqueness of a global maximum of V.
