Abstract: Studying homoclinic solutions of equations is one of the steps to go deeper in the understanding of dynamics. As it is known to the authors there are no papers studying homoclinic solutions of hyperbolic systems. In the paper we present a new variational method general enough to treat the problem of the existence of homoclinic solutions for the following semi-linear wave equation: $x_{tt}(t,y)-x_{yy}(t,y)+g(t,y,x(t,y))=0$ for $0Keywords: Hyperbolic P.D.E., sublinear nonlinearity, superlinear nonlinearity, 2D-systems, homoclinic solutions, variational method, duality
