Existence of solution for perturbed fractional Hamiltonian systems

Abstract

In this work we prove the existence of solution for a class of perturbed fractional Hamiltonian systems given by \begin{eqnarray}\label{eq00} -{_{t}}D_{\infty}^{\alpha}(_{-\infty}D_{t}^{\alpha}u(t)) - L(t)u(t) + \nabla W(t,u(t)) = f(t), \end{eqnarray} where $\alpha \in (1/2, 1)$, $t\in \mathbb{R}$, $u\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $L\in C(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}^{n^{2}})$ is a symmetric and positive definite matrix for all $t\in \mathbb{R}$, $W\in C^{1}(\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^{n}, \mathbb{R})$ and $\nabla W$ is the gradient of $W$ at $u$. The novelty of this paper is that, assuming $L$ is coercive at infinity we show that (\ref{eq00}) at least has one nontrivial solution.
