Multiple periodic solutions and complex dynamics for second order ODEs via linked twist maps

We consider some nonlinear second order scalar ODEs of the form $x'' + f(t,x) =0,$ where $f$ is periodic in the $t$-variable and show the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions as well as the presence of complex dynamics, even in the case of certain apparently "simple" e...
