Considering a decomposition R²N=A⊕B of R²N , we prove in this work, the existence of at least (1+dimA) geometrically distinct periodic solutions for the first-order Hamiltonian system Jx'(t)+H'(t,x(t))+e(t)=0 when the Hamiltonian H(t,u+v) is periodic in (t,u) and its growth at infinity in v is at most like or faster than |v|^a, 0≤a<1 , and e is a forcing term. For the proof, we use the Least Action Principle and a Generalized Saddle Point Theorem.
