It is well known that instabilities of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems occur around resonances. Dynamics near resonances of these systems is well approximated by the associated averaged system, called slow system. Each resonance is…
We study the problem of Arnold's diffusion in an example of isochronous system by using a geometrical method known as Windows Method. Despite the simple features of this example, we show that the absence of an anisochrony term leads to…

We consider a nearly integrable, non-isochronous, a-priori unstable Hamiltonian system with a (trigonometric polynomial) $O(\mu)$-perturbation which does not preserve the unperturbed tori. We prove the existence of Arnold diffusion with…
We propose a closed-form (i.e. without expansion in the orbital eccentricities) scheme for computations in perturbation theory in the restricted three-body problem (R3BP) when the massless particle is in an orbit exterior to the one of the…
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…
We prove a form of Arnold diffusion in the a priori stable case. Let H0(p) + $\epsilon$H1($\theta$, p, t), $\theta$ $\in$ T n , p $\in$ B n , t $\in$ T = R/T be a nearly integrable system of arbitrary degrees of freedom n 2 with a strictly…
In the present paper we prove a strong form of Arnold diffusion. Let $\mathbb{T}^2$ be the two torus and $B^2$ be the unit ball around the origin in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Fix $\rho>0$. Our main result says that for a "generic" time-periodic…
