There is a long standing conjecture that there are at least $ n $ closed characteristics on any compact convex hypersurface $ \Sigma $ in $ \mathbb{R}^{2n} $. In this paper, we provide some new estimates and prove that there are at least $ [\frac{3n}{4}] $ closed characteristics on $ \Sigma $ for any positive integer $ n $, where $ \Sigma $ satisfies $ \Sigma = P\Sigma $ for a certain class of symplectic matrix $ P $. These results are not considered in previous papers.

Keywords: Compact convex hypersurfaces, P-symmetric closed characteristics, Iteration theory, Maslov-type index and Maslov index, Hamiltonian system.
