We consider the problem of Arnold Diffusion for nearly integrable partially isochronous Hamiltonian systems with three time scales. By means of a careful shadowing analysis, based on a variational technique, we prove that, along special…
In the present paper we apply the geometrical mechanism of diffusion in an \emph{a priori} unstable Hamiltonian system with 3 $+$ 1/2 degrees of freedom. This mechanism consists of combining iterations of the \emph{inner} and \emph{outer}…

The aim of this paper is to discuss the constructivity of the method originally introduced by U. Bessi to approach the phenomenon of topological instability commonly known as Arnold's Diffusion. By adapting results and proofs from existing…
We present a diffusion mechanism for time-dependent perturbations of autonomous Hamiltonian systems introduced in [25]. This mechanism is based on shadowing of pseudo-orbits generated by two dynamics: an `outer dynamics', given by…
We describe a topological mechanism for the existence of diffusing orbits in a dynamical system satisfying the following assumptions: (i) the phase space contains a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold diffeomorphic to a two-dimensional…
We consider the problem of Arnold's diffusion for nearly integrable isochronous Hamiltonian systems. We prove a shadowing theorem which improves the known estimates for the diffusion time. We also develop a new method for measuring the…
In this work we illustrate the Arnold diffusion in a concrete example---the \emph{a priori} unstable Hamiltonian system of $2+1/2$ degrees of freedom $H(p,q,I,\varphi,s) = p^{2}/2+\cos q -1 +I^{2}/2 + h(q,\varphi,s;\varepsilon)$---proving…
We prove the existence of diffusing solutions in the motion of a charged particle in the presence of an ABC magnetic field. The equations of motion are modeled by a 3DOF Hamiltonian system depending on two parameters. For small values of…
We give an introduction into diffraction theory for aperiodic order. We focus on an approach via dynamical systems and the phenomenon of pure point diffraction. We review recent results and sketch proofs. We then present a new uniform…
We present a general mechanism to establish the existence of diffusing orbits in a large class of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. Our approach relies on successive applications of the `outer dynamics' along homoclinic orbits to a…
For a mechanical system consisting of a rotator and a pendulum coupled via a small, time-periodic Hamiltonian perturbation, the Arnold diffusion problem asserts the existence of `diffusing orbits' along which the energy of the rotator grows…
Diffusion has been widely used to describe a random walk of particles or waves, and it requires only one parameter -- the diffusion constant. For waves, however, diffusion is an approximation that disregards the possibility of interference.…
The Arnold diffusion constitutes a dynamical phenomenon which may occur in the phase space of a non-integrable Hamiltonian system whenever the number of the system degrees of freedom is $M \geq 3$. The diffusion is mediated by a web-like…

In the present paper we prove a form of Arnold diffusion. The main result says that for a "generic" perturbation of a nearly integrable system of arbitrary degrees of freedom $n\ge 2$ \[ H_0(p)+\eps H_1(\th,p,t),\quad \th\in \T^n,\ p\in…
