Abstract
We give a mechanical example concerning the fact that some regularity is necessary in KAM theory. We consider the model given by the vertical bouncing motion of a ball on a periodically moving plate. Denoting with the motion of the plate, some variants of Moser invariant curve theorem apply if is small in norm and every motion has bounded velocity. This is not possible if the function is only . Indeed we construct a function with arbitrary small derivative in norm for which a motion with unbounded velocity exists.
