In this paper we consider the homoclinic orbits for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems of the form
$ \ddot{q}(t)-\lambda q(t)+\nabla W(t,q(t)) = 0 $
where
$ \lambda>0 $
 is a parameter,
$ \frac{|\nabla W(t,x)|}{|x|} $
 asymptotically tends to a constant as
$ |x|\rightarrow\infty $
 and
$ |t|\rightarrow\infty $
. Via the variational method, two new theorems are proved.
Keywords: Homoclinic orbit, Hamiltonian systems, asymptotically quadratic, variational method, concentration-compactness principle.
