In this paper, we prove Morse index theorem of Lagrangian systems with self-adjoint boundary conditions. Based on it, we give some nontrivial estimates on the difference of Morse indices. As an application, we get a new criterion for the stability problem of brake periodic orbit.

Morse index theorem for heteroclinic orbits of Lagrangian systems
The classical Morse Index Theorem plays a central role in Lagrangian dynamics and differential geometry. Although many generalization of this result are well-known, in the case of orbits of…
Brake orbits for Hamiltonian systems of classical type via Finsler geodesics
We consider Hamiltonian functions of classical type, namely even and convex with respect to the generalized momenta. A brake orbit is a periodic solution of Hamilton’s equations such that the…
Brake orbits for Hamiltonian systems of the classical type via geodesics in singular Finsler metrics
Abstract We consider Hamiltonian functions of the classical type, namely, even and convex with respect to the generalized momenta. A brake orbit is a periodic solution of Hamilton’s equations such…
Sturm theory with applications in geometry and classical mechanics
Classical Sturm non-oscillation and comparison theorems as well as the Sturm theorem on zeros for solutions of second order differential equations have a natural symplectic version, since they…
On the jth Eigenvalue of Sturm–Liouville Problem and the Maslov Index
In the previous papers \cite{HLWZ,KWZ}, the jump phenomena of the $j$-th eigenvalue were completely characterized for Sturm-Liouville problems. In this paper, we show that the jump number of these…
Global Surfaces of Section and Periodic Orbits in The Spatial Isosceles Three Body Problem

In this paper, we establish a relationship between the Morse index at rest points in the saddle point reduction and the brake-orbit-type Maslov index at corresponding brake orbits. As an application,…
