Based on quantitative ``{\sc kam} theory'', we state and prove two theorems about the continuation of maximal and whiskered quasi--periodic motions to slightly perturbed systems exhibiting proper degeneracy. Next, we apply such results to…
We study in detail the motions of three planets interacting with each other under the influence of a central star. It is known that the system with more than two planets becomes unstable after remaining quasi-stable for long times, leading…
In this paper, we establish a KAM-theorem for ordinary differential equations with finitely differentiable vector fields and multiple degeneracies. The theorem can be used to deal with the persistence of quasi-periodic invariant tori in…
The persistence of invariant tori in multi-scale Hamiltonian systems is intrinsically linked to the stability of the N-body problem. However, the existing non-degeneracy conditions in disordered scenarios have been formulated too generally,…
We investigate the motion in space of an infinitesimal particle in the gravitational field generated by three primary bodies positioned at the vertices of a fixed equilateral triangle. We assume that the distances between the primaries are…
Interacting systems consisting of two rotators and a pendulum are considered, in a case in which the uncoupled systems have three very different characteristic time scales. The abundance of unstable quasi periodic motions in phase space is…
Since the strong degeneracies present in the N-body problem, even in the basic case of the planar three-body problem, nobody inspects the problem of nonlinear stability of Lagrange relative equilibrium. We introduce a new coordinate system…
We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy ``twist'' conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic…
We prove that a system of coupled nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equations on the torus exhibits both stable and unstable small KAM tori. In particular the unstable tori are related to a beating phenomena which has been proved recently in [6].…
There are many interesting dynamical systems in which degenerate invariant tori appear. We give conditions under which these degenerate tori have stable and unstable invariant manifolds, with stable and unstable directions having arbitrary…
It is proved that the KAM tori (thus quasi-periodic solutions) are long time stable for infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems generated by nonlinear wave equation, by constructing a partial normal form of higher order around the KAM…
When the planar circular restricted 3-body problem (RTBP) is periodically perturbed, families of unstable periodic orbits break up into whiskered tori, with most tori persisting into the perturbed system. In this study, we 1) develop a…
In this paper, we prove the existence of full dimensional invariant tori for a non-autonomous, almost-periodically forced nonlinear beam equation with a periodic boundary condition via KAM theory.
What kinds of motion can occur in classical mechanics? We address this question by looking at the structures traced out by trajectories in phase space; the most orderely, completely integrable systems, are charactrized by phase trajectories…
The existence of lower dimensional KAM tori is shown for a class of nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems where the second Melnikov's conditions are eliminated. As a consequence, it is proved that there exist many invariant tori and thus…
It is proved that the KAM tori (thus quasi-periodic solutions) are long time stable for nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
Consider a sufficiently smooth nearly integrable Hamiltonian system of two and a half degrees of freedom in action-angle coordinates \[ H_\epsilon (\varphi,I,t)=H_0(I)+\epsilon H_1(\varphi,I,t), \varphi\in T^2,\ I\in U\subset R^2,\ t\in…
In this work, we obtain an a-posteriori theorem for the existence of partly hyperbolic invariant tori in analytic Hamiltonian systems: autonomous, periodic, and quasi-periodic. The method of proof is based on the convergence of a KAM…
In a system of particles, quasi-periodic almost-collision orbits are collisionless orbits along which two bodies become arbitrarily close to each other -- the lower limit of their distance is zero but the upper limit is strictly positive --…
The problem of persistence of four-frequency tori is considered in models represented by the coupled periodically driven self-oscillators. We show that the adding the third oscillator gives rise to destruction of the three-frequency tori,…
