The goal of this paper is to give a simple proof of the convergence to time-periodic states of the solutions of time-periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations on the circle with convex Hamiltonian. Note that the period of the limiting solutions may be greater than the period of the Hamiltonian.
We describe the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of unviscid Burgers equation on the circle with time-periodic forcing. These solutions converge to periodic states, but the period of these limit states may be greater than the period of the forcing. We obtain as a corollary a new result on the flow of the associated Hamiltonian system.
We generalize to higher dimension results of Birkhoff and Mather on the existence of orbits wandering in regions of instability of twist maps. This generalization is strongly inspired by the one already proposed by Mather. However, its advantage is that it really contains most of the results of Birkhoff and Mather on twist maps.
