Our aim in this paper is twofold. We first establish precise iteration formulae of the Maslov-type index theory for any path in the symplectic group starting from the identity. Then as their application, we prove that if there exist precisely two closed characteristics on a convex compact smooth hypersurface in R4, both of them must be elliptic. We consider linear Hamiltonian systems x*= JB (t) x, x# R2n,(1.1) with B# C (S {, Ls (R2n), where Z and R denote the set of all integral and real numbers respectively, S {= RÂ ({Z) for {> 0, L (R2n) denotes the set of 2n_2n real matrices, and Ls (R2n) denotes its subset of symmetric ones. It is well known that the fundamental solution# B of (1.1) is a path in the symplectic group
