A Maupertuis-type principle in relativistic mechanics and applications

We provide a Maupertuis-type principle for the following system of ODE, of interest in special relativity: d/dt (mx˙/√1 −|˙x|2/c2) = ∇V(x), x ∈ ⊂ Rn, where m, c > 0 and V : → R is a function of class C1. As an application, we prove the existence of multiple periodic solutions with prescribed ener...

Sumario:We provide a Maupertuis-type principle for the following system of ODE, of interest in special relativity: d/dt (mx˙/√1 −|˙x|2/c2) = ∇V(x), x ∈ ⊂ Rn, where m, c > 0 and V : → R is a function of class C1. As an application, we prove the existence of multiple periodic solutions with prescribed energy for a relativistic N-centre type problem in the plane.
