摘要:Let H be a real Hilbert space and f(x,{lambda}) be a C2 operator mapping a small neighborhood U of (x0,{lambda}0) {varepsilon} (H x R1) into itself. We investigate the solutions of the equation f(x,{lambda}) = 0 near a solution (x0,{lambda}0), assuming that f(x,{lambda}) is a gradient mapping and 0 < dim Ker fx(x0,{lambda}0) < {infty}. In particular, we show that the type numbers of Marston Morse for an isolated critical point can be used to prove the existence of a point of bifurcation at (x0,{lambda}0). An application of this result is given to the discovery of periodic motions near a stationary point for a large class of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems in "resonant" cases.
