Abstract
The authors study the existence of periodic solutions with prescribed minimal period for superquadratic and asymptotically linear autonomous second order Hamiltonian systems without any convexity assumption. Using the variational methods, an estimate on the minimal period of the corresponding nonconstant periodic solution of the above-mentioned system is obtained.
