This paper concerns the existence of multiple homoclinic orbits for the second-order Hamiltonian system-L（t）z＋Wz（t,z）=0,where L∈C（R,RN2）is a symmetric matrix-valued function and W（t,z）∈C1（R×RN,R）is a nonlinear term.Since there are no periodic assumptions on L（t）and W（t,z）in t,one should overcome difficulties for the lack of compactness of the Sobolev embedding.Moreover,the nonlinearity W（t,z）is asymptotically linear in z at infinity and the system is allowed to be resonant,which is a case that has never been considered before.By virtue of some generalized mountain pass theorem,multiple homoclinic orbits are obtained.
