Abstract. In this work, we prove the existence of multiple periodic and subharmonic solutions of the Hamiltonian system Jx + H'(t,x) + e(t) = 0 when the Hamiltonian H is periodic in a part of the variables and locally coercive in the other part; that is, there exists a decomposition R 2Ar = A © B of R It has been proved that the system (H) has subharmonics, i.e. distinct kT-periodic solutions. Many solvability conditions are given, such as the coercivity condition (see [2,4,5,6,8]), the convexity condition (see [1,7,9]), the boundedness condition (see [6]). However, most of the results proving the existence of subharmonics have made use of a uniformly coercivity or a uniformly resonance assumption in all the variables of the Hamiltonian H.
