A further multiplicity result for Lagrangian systems of relativistic oscillators

Abstract

This is our third paper, after [4] and [5], about a joint application of the theory developed by Brezis and Mawhin in [1] with our minimax theorems ([2], [3]) to get multiple solutions of problems of the type $$\cases{(\phi(u'))'=\nabla_xF(t,u) & in $[0,T]$\cr & \cr u(0)=u(T)\ , \hskip 3pt u'(0)=u'(T)\cr}$$ which are global minima of a suitable functional over a set of Lipschitzian functions. A challenging conjecture is also formulated.
