In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic orbits for a class of first order periodic Hamiltonian systems. By applying two recent critical point theorems for strongly indefinite functionals, we establish some new criteria to guarantee that Hamiltonian systems, with asymptotically quadratic terms and spectrum point zero, have at least one and infinitely many homoclinic orbits under certain conditions.

Keywords: variational methods, Hölder inequality, Strongly indefinite problems., Homoclinic orbits, Hamiltonian systems, asymptotically linear terms.
