### Subharmonics with Minimal Periods for Convex Discrete Hamiltonian Systems

Honghua Bin

#### Abstract

We consider the subharmonics with minimal periods for convex discrete Hamiltonian systems. By using variational methods and dual functional, we obtain that the system has a $pT$-periodic solution for each positive integer $p$, and solution of system has minimal period $pT$ as $H$ subquadratic growth both at 0 and infinity.
