Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence and nonuniqueness of nontrivial solutions for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems with concave–convex potentials via the variational methods. A new twisted condition is introduced, which yields a new compact embedding theorem. Some results are new even for second-order Hamiltonian systems.
