Abstract
We consider the Lorentz force equation in the physically relevant case of a singular electric field E. Assuming that E and B are T-periodic in time and satisfy suitable further conditions, we prove the existence of infinitely many T-periodic solutions. The proof is based on a min-max principle of Lusternik-Schnirelmann type, in the framework of non-smooth critical point theory. Applications are given to the problem of the motion of a charged particle under the action of a Liénard-Wiechert potential and to the relativistic forced Kepler problem.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
