Abstract
In this paper, we study the minimal period problem for even autonomous second order Hamiltonian systems defined on R-N without any convexity assumption. By using the variational methods, we obtain estimates on the minimal period of the corresponding nonconstant periodic solution of the superquadratic and asymptotically linear Hamiltonian systems.
