Some results on connecting orbits for a class of Hamiltonian systems. (English)
[J] Math. Z. 206, No.3, 473-499 (1991). ISSN 0025-5874; ISSN 1432-1823/e

The existence of various kinds of connecting orbits is established for the Hamiltonian system $(HS)\quad q''+V'(q)=0$ as well as its time periodic analogue. For the autonomous case, the main assumption is that V has a global maximum, e.g. at $x=0$. Variational methods then establish the existence of various kinds of orbits terminating at $x=0$. For the time dependent case it is assumed that V has a local but not global maximum at $x=0$ and it is proved that (HS) has a homoclinic orbit emanating from and terminating at 0.
