The so-called ``small denominator problem'' was a fundamental problem of dynamics, as pointed out by Poincar\'{e}. Small denominators appear most commonly in perturbative theory. The Duffing equation is the simplest example of a…

We consider arbitrary one-parameter cubic deformations of the Duffing oscillator $x"=x-x^3$. In the case when the first Melnikov function $M_1$ vanishes, but $M_2\neq 0$ we compute the general form of $M_2$ and study its zeros in a suitable…

Following Part~I, we consider a class of reversible systems and study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria. Here we concentrate on the case in which homoclinic orbits are symmetric, so that only one control…

n this paper we formulate necessary conditions for the integrability in the Jacobi sense of Newton equations $\ddot \vq=-\vF(\vq)$, where $\vq\in\C^n$ and all components of $\vF$ are polynomial and homogeneous of the same degree $l$. These…

In this paper we introduce the notion of coalgebra symmetry for discrete systems. With this concept we prove that all discrete radially symmetric systems in standard form are quasi-integrable and that all variational discrete quasi-radially…

Integrable perturbations of the nonholonomic Suslov, Veselova, Chaplygin and Heisenberg problems are discussed in the framework of the classical Bertrand-Darboux method. We study the relations between the Bertrand-Darboux type equations,…

This paper investigates the dynamics and integrability of the double spring pendulum, which has great importance in studying nonlinear dynamics, chaos, and bifurcations. Being a Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom, its analysis…

Three types of orbits are theoretically possible in autonomous Hamiltonian systems with three degrees of freedom: fully chaotic (they only obey the energy integral), partially chaotic (they obey an additional isolating integral besides…

We show the existence of drifting orbits for certain perturbations of non-convex Hamiltonian systems with several degrees of freedom. These orbits remain in the vicinity of resonant surfaces where the action variables can undergo changes…

In this paper, for any positive integer $n$, we study the Maslov-type index theory of $i_{L_0}$, $i_{L_1}$ and $i_{\sqrt{-1}}^{L_0}$ with $L_0=\{0\}\times \R^n\subset \R^{2n}$ and $L_1=\R^n\times \{0\} \subset \R^{2n}$. As applications we…

The autonomous Duffing oscillator, and its van der Pol modification, are known to admit time-dependent first integrals for specific values of parameters. This corresponds to the existence of Darboux polynomials, and in fact more can be…

The double Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation is studied, i.e. a generic two-parametric unfolding of a smooth Hamiltonian system with four degrees of freedom which has at the critical value of parameters the equilibrium with two pairs of double…

In this paper, we present two classes of lopsided systems and discuss their analytic integrability. The analytic integrable conditions are obtained by using the method of inverse integrating factor and theory of rotated vector field. For…

We study bifurcation behavior in periodic perturbations of two-dimensional symmetric systems exhibiting codimension-two bifurcations with a double eigenvalue when the frequencies of the perturbation terms are small. We transform the…

We study the problem of subharmonic bifurcations for analytic systems in the plane with perturbations depending periodically on time, in the case in which we only assume that the subharmonic Melnikov function has at least one zero. If the…

Integrable non-linear Hamiltonian systems perturbed by additive noise develop a Lyapunov instability, and are hence chaotic, for any amplitude of the perturbation. This phenomenon is related, but distinct, from Taylor's diffusion in…
