The constrained Liapunov-Schmidt procedure and periodic orbits

Abstract

This paper develops the Liapunov-Schmidt procedure for systems with additional constraints such as having a first integral, being Hamiltonian, or being a gradient system. Similar developments for systems with symmetry, including reversibility, are well known, and the method of this paper augments and is consistent with that approach. One of the results states that the bifurcation equation for Hamiltonian systems is actually a Hamiltonian vector field. In general, we use "implicit constraints" to encode the information constraining the system. The method is applied to the Liapunov center theorem for reversible systems and systems with an integral, as well as to the Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation and resonance bifurcations for Hamiltonian and reversible systems.
