We reconsider the classical problem of the continuation of degenerate periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems. In particular we focus on periodic orbits that arise from the breaking of a completely resonant maximal torus. We here propose a…
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,…
We investigate higher-order geometric $k$-splines for template matching on Lie groups. This is motivated by the need to apply diffeomorphic template matching to a series of images, e.g., in longitudinal studies of Computational Anatomy. Our…
We study the existence of whiskered tori in a family $f_\mu$ of conformally symplectic maps depending on parameters $\mu$. Whiskered tori are tori on which the motion is a rotation, but they have as many expanding/contracting directions as…
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…
We study the classical Rajeev-Ranken model, a Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom describing nonlinear continuous waves in a 1+1-dimensional nilpotent scalar field theory pseudodual to the SU(2) principal chiral model. While it…
The goal of this paper is to provide a methodology to prove existence of (fiberwise hyperbolic) real-analytic invariant tori in real-analytic quasi-periodic skew-product dynamical systems that present nearly-invariant tori of the same…
We prove that nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations on the circle, without external parameters, admits plenty of almost periodic solutions. Indeed, we prove that arbitrarily close to most of the finite dimensional KAM tori constructed by…
The phase space of an integrable Hamiltonian system is foliated by invariant tori. For an arbitrary Hamiltonian H such a foliation may not exist, but we can artificially construct one through a parameterised family of surfaces, with the…
When a Gevrey smooth perturbation is applied to a quasi-convex integrable Hamiltonian, it is known that the KAM invariant tori that survive are sticky, that is, doubly exponentially stable. We show by examples the optimality of this…
We consider non-isochronous, nearly integrable, a-priori unstable Hamiltonian systems with a (trigonometric polynomial) $O(\mu)$-perturbation which does not preserve the unperturbed tori. We prove the existence of Arnold diffusion with…
Consider a real--analytic nearly--integrable mechanical system with potential $f$, namely, a Hamiltonian system, having a real-analytic Hamiltonian $$ H(y,x)=\frac12 | y |^2 +\e f(x)\ , $$ $y,x$ being $n$--dimensional standard action--angle…
We show that an analytic invariant torus $\cT_0$ with Diophantine frequency $\o_0$ is never isolated due to the following alternative. If the Birkhoff normal form of the Hamiltonian at $\cT_0$ satisfies a R\"ussmann transversality…
In this paper, we develop numerical methods based on the weighted Birkhoff average for studying two-dimensional invariant tori for volume-preserving maps. The methods do not rely on symmetries, such as time-reversal symmetry, nor on…
The disadvantage of `traditional' multidimensional continued fraction algorithms is that it is not known whether they provide simultaneous rational approximations for generic vectors. Following ideas of Dani, Lagarias and Kleinbock-Margulis…
The splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered (hyperbolic) tori with two frequencies in a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system, whose hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum, is studied. We consider a torus with a fast frequency vector…
We prove that the recently developed semiexplicit symplectic integrators for non-separable Hamiltonian systems preserve any linear and quadratic invariants possessed by the Hamiltonian systems. This is in addition to being symmetric and…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for strong stability of low dimensional Hamiltonian systems, in terms of the iterates of a closed orbit and the Conley-Zehnder index. Applications to Mathieu equation and stable harmonic…
We present an abstract KAM theorem, adapted to space-multidimensional hamiltonian PDEs with smoothing non-linearities. The main novelties of this theorem are that: $\bullet$ the integrable part of the hamiltonian may contain a hyperbolic…
We prove that there is an invariant torus with given Diophantine frequency vector for a class of Hamiltonian systems defined by an integrable large Hamiltonian function with a large non-autonomous Hamiltonian perturbation. As for…
