Variational approach for weak quasiperiodic solutions of quasiperiodically excited Lagrangian systems on Riemannian manifolds

Igor Parasyuk, Anna Rustamova

Abstract:
We apply a variational method to prove the existence of weak Besicovitch quasiperiodic solutions for natural Lagrangian system on Riemannian manifold with time-quasiperiodic force function. In contrast to previous papers, our approach does not require non-positiveness condition for sectional Riemannian curvature. As an application of obtained results, we find conditions for the existence of weak quasiperiodic solutions in spherical pendulum system under quasiperiodic forcing.

An addendum was attached on December 28, 2012. It presents a stronger result concerning the convergence of minimizing sequence to weak quasiperiodic solution. It also corrects a few misprints. See the last 5 pages of this article.
