Throughout this paper we assume f satisfies the following hypotheses:<br />

(f1) f (0) = 0 and f ′ (0) < λ1,<br />

(f2) f ′ (∞) ∈ (λk,λk+1),<br />

(f3) There is a constant γ such that f ′ (t) ≤ γ < λk+1 <strong>for</strong> every t ∈ R.<br />

Under these conditions that we are assuming on f , J ∈ C 2 .<br />

We recall that if u is a critical point of J and there exists a maximal<br />

integer q such that D 2 J(u) is negative definite on some q-dimensional<br />

subspace then the Morse index m(u,J) of u is q.<br />
