Abstract

This paper is concerned with the following periodic Hamiltonian elliptic system

$ -\Delta u+V(x)u=g(x,v)$ in $R^N,$

$ -\Delta v+V(x)v=f(x,u)$ in $R^N,$

$ u(x)\to 0$ and $v(x)\to 0$ as $|x|\to\infty,$

where the potential $V$ is periodic and has a positive bound from below, $f(x,t)$ and $g(x,t)$ are periodic in $x$ and superlinear but subcritical in $t$ at infinity. By using generalized Nehari manifold method, existence of a positive ground state solution as well as multiple solutions for odd $f$ and $g$ are obtained.
