We determine approximate numerical integrals of motion of 2D symmetric Hamiltonian systems. We detail for a few gravitational potentials the conditions under which quasi-integrals are obtained as polynomial series. We show that each of…
Mean motion resonances are a common feature of both our own Solar System and of extrasolar planetary systems. Bodies can be trapped in resonance when their orbital semi-major axes change, for instance when they migrate through a…
When an integrable two-degrees-of-freedom Hamiltonian system possessing a circle of parabolic fixed points is perturbed, a parabolic resonance occurs. It is proved that its occurrence is generic for one parameter families (co-dimension one…
In systems with fast periodic driving, there are special subsets of (resonant) states, which behavior can be described with effective, time-independent Hamiltonian in a rotating reference frame. Here, we show that experimentally feasible…
In our Solar system, spin-orbit resonances are common under Sun--planet, planet--satellite and binary asteroid configurations. In this work, high-order and secondary spin-orbit resonances are investigated by taking numerical and analytical…
We investigate the resonance spectrum of the H\'enon-Heiles potential up to twice the barrier energy. The quantum spectrum is obtained by the method of complex coordinate rotation. We use periodic orbit theory to approximate the oscillating…
In spite of planetary resonances being a common dynamical mechanism acting on planetary systems, no general model exists for describing their properties, particularly for commensurabilities of any order and arbitrary values of the…
We study bifurcations of area-preserving maps, both orientable (symplectic) and non-orientable, with quadratic homoclinic tangencies. We consider one and two parameter general unfoldings and establish results related to the appearance of…
In a 2D conservative Hamiltonian system there is a formal integral $\Phi$ besides the energy H. This is not convergent near a stable periodic orbit, but it is convergent near an unstable periodic orbit. We explain this difference and we…
This paper is a continuation of our study of the dynamics of contact Hamiltonian systems in \cite{JY}, but without monotonicity assumption. Due to the complexity of general cases, we focus on the behavior of action minimizing orbits. We…
A systematic study of hadron masses and widths shows regular oscillations that can be fitted by a simple cosine function. This property can be observed when the difference between adjacent masses of each family is plotted versus the mean…
This article is devoted to the study of a $2$-dimensional piecewise smooth (but possibly) discontinuous dynamical system, subject to a non-autonomous perturbation; we assume that the unperturbed system admits a homoclinic trajectory…
Studying 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) Hamiltonian dynamical systems often involves the computation of stable & unstable manifolds of periodic orbits, due to the homoclinic & heteroclinic connections they can generate. Such study is generally…
The third post-Newtonian approximation to the general relativistic dynamics of two point-mass systems has been recently derived by two independent groups, using different approaches, and different coordinate systems. By explicitly…
In this paper, we study the existence for the homoclinic orbits for the second order Hamiltonian systems. Under suitable conditions on the potential $V$, we apply the direct method of variations and the Fourier analysis to prove the…
For a nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems $H=h(p)+\epsilon P(p,q)$ with $(p,q)\in\mathbb{R}^3\times\mathbb{T}^3$, large normally hyperbolic invariant cylinders exist along the whole resonant path, except for the…
In paper I in this series, we found exact expressions for the equatorial homoclinic orbits: the separatrix between bound and plunging, whirling and not whirling. As a companion to that physical space study, in this paper we paint a phase…
We study almost periodic orbits of quantum systems and prove that for periodic time-dependent Hamiltonians an orbit is almost periodic if, and only if, it is precompact. In the case of quasiperiodic time-dependence we present an example of…
Perturbative analyses of planetary resonances commonly predict singularities and/or divergences of resonance widths at very low and very high eccentricities. We have recently re-examined the nature of these divergences using…
We consider a quasi-linear Hamiltonian system with one and a half degrees of freedom. The Hamiltonian of this system differs by a small, $\sim\varepsilon$, perturbing term from the Hamiltonian of a linear oscillatory system. We consider…
