Multiple periodic solutions to nonlinear discrete Hamiltonian systems. (English) Zbl 1152.39013

The author considers discrete Hamiltonian systems that are discrete analogs of the continuous systems of the form \( \dot x(t) =J\nabla H(x(t)), \) where \(J\) is the standard symplectic matrix, \(\nabla H\) is the gradient of a function \(H\). Using the Morse Index theory he gives several sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple \(p\)-periodic solutions to the discrete systems with \(p\) being a prime number.
