Abstract

The large-scale periodic orbits of a nonlinear mechanics system can represent the homology classes, which are generally non-trivial, of the energy level surface and the topology, properties of an energy level surface are determined by the that of the phase space and the large-scale properties of the Hamiltonian. These properties are used for estimate of the rank of the first homology group of energy level surfaces in the paper.
