We revisit the problem of the existence of KAM tori in extrasolar planetary systems. Specifically, we consider the $\upsilon$ Andromed{\ae} system, by modelling it with a three-body problem. This preliminary study allows us to introduce a…
We reconsider the problem of the orbital dynamics of the innermost exoplanet of the $\upsilon$-Andromedae system (i.e., $\upsilon$-And $\mathbf{b}$) into the framework of a Secular Quasi-Periodic Restricted Hamiltonian model. This means…
The three-dimensional secular behavior of a system composed of a central star and two massive planets is modeled semi-analytically in the frame of the general three-body problem. The main dynamical features of the system are presented in…
In this paper, we present evidence of the stability of a simplified model of the Solar System, a flat (Newtonian) Sun-Jupiter-Saturn system with realistic data: masses of the Sun and the planets, their semi-axes, eccentricities and…
(abbreviated) We use a semi-numerical approach to study the secular behavior of a system composed of a central star and two massive planets in eccentric co-planar orbits. We show that the secular dynamics of this system can be described…
We adapt the Kolmogorov's normalization algorithm (which is the key element of the original proof scheme of the KAM theorem) to the construction of a suitable normal form related to an invariant elliptic torus. As a byproduct, our procedure…
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…
We investigate the long-term dynamics of HD60532, an extrasolar system hosting two giant planets orbiting in a 3:1 mean motion resonance. We consider an average approximation at order one in the masses which results (after the reduction of…
The large increase in exoplanet discoveries in the last two decades showed a variety of systems whose stability is not clear. In this work we chose the $\upsilon$ Andromedae system as the basis of our studies in dynamical stability. This…
Dissipative systems play a very important role in several physical models, most notably in Celestial Mechanics, where the dissipation drives the motion of natural and artificial satellites, leading them to migration of orbits, resonant…
We introduce a quasi-periodic restricted Hamiltonian to describe the secular motion of a small-mass planet in a multi-planetary system. In particular, we refer to the motion of $\upsilon$-And $b$ which is the innermost planet among those…
We consider the classical problem of the construction of invariant tori exploiting suitable Hamiltonian normal forms. This kind of approach can be translated by means of the Lie series method into explicit computational algorithms, which…
We present a KAM theorem for presymplectic dynamical systems. The theorem has a " a posteriori " format. We show that given a Diophantine frequency $\omega$ and a family of presymplectic mappings, if we find an embedded torus which is…
Our understanding of the mechanisms governing the structure and secular evolution galaxies assume nearly integrable Hamiltonians with regular orbits; our perturbation theories are founded on the averaging theorem for isolated resonances. On…
In present paper, from the viewpoint of physical intuition we introduce a Hamiltonian system with multiscale rotation, which describes many systems, for example, the forced pendulum with fast rotation, weakly coupled $N$-oscillators with…
We give a constructive proof of the existence of lower dimensional elliptic tori in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. In particular we adapt the classical Kolmogorov's normalization algorithm to the case of planetary systems, for which…
The Upsilon Andromedae system is the first exoplanetary system to have the relative inclination of two planets' orbital planes directly measured, and therefore offers our first window into the 3-dimensional configurations of planetary…

We give a proof of the convergence of an algorithm for the construction of lower dimensional elliptic tori in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. The existence of such invariant tori is proved by leading the Hamiltonian to a suitable…
In this paper we present and illustrate a general methodology to apply KAM theory in particular problems, based on an {\em a posteriori} approach. We focus on the existence of real-analytic quasi-periodic Lagrangian invariant tori for…
