Periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems on symmetric positive-type hypersurfaces

This paper discusses the existence and multiplicity of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems on symmetric positive-type hypersurfaces. We prove that each such energy hypersurface carries at least one symmetric periodic orbit. Under some suitable pinching conditions, we also get an existence result of multiple symmetric periodic orbits.  2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
