Persistence of lower dimensional invariant tori on sub-manifolds in Hamiltonian systems

Chow et al. (J. Non. Sci. 12 (2002) 585) proved that the majority of the unperturbed tori on sub-manifolds will persist for standard Hamiltonian systems. Motivated by their work, in this paper, we study the persistence and tangent frequencies preservation of lower dimensional invariant tori on smooth sub-manifolds for real analytic, nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. The surviving tori might be elliptic, hyperbolic, or of mixed type.     

Invariant hyperbolic tori for Gevrey-smooth Hamiltonian systems under Rüssmann’s non-degeneracy condition

In this paper, we prove the persistence of hyperbolic lower dimensional invariant tori for Gevrey-smooth perturbations of partially integrable Hamiltonian systems under Riissmann＇s nondegeneracy condition by an improved KAM iteration, and the persisting invariant tori are Gevrey smooth, with the same Gevrey index as the Hamiltonian.     

A KAM-type Theorem for Generalized Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper we mainly concern the persistence of invariant tori in generalized Hamiltonian systems. Here the generalized Hamiltonian systems refer to the systems which may admit a distinct number of action and angle variables. In particular, system under consideration can be odd dimensional. Under the Riissmann type non-degenerate condition, we proved that the majority of the lower-dimension invariant tori of the integrable systems in generalized Hamiltonian system are persistent under small perturbation. The surviving lower-dimensional tori might be elliptic, hyperbolic, or of mixed type.     

The hyperbolic invariant tori of symplectic mappings

In this paper we study the persistence of lower dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori for nearly integrable twist symplectic mappings. Under a Rüssmann-type non-degenerate condition, by introducing a modified KAM iteration scheme, we proved that nearly integrable twist symplectic mappings admit a family of lower dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori as long as the symplectic perturbation is small enough.     

A quasi-periodic Poincaré's theorem

We study the persistence of invariant tori on resonant surfaces of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system under the usual Kolmogorov non-degenerate condition. By introducing a quasi-linear iterative scheme to deal with small divisors, we generalize the Poincaré theorem on the maximal resonance case (i.e., the periodic case) to the general resonance case (i.e., the quasi-periodic case) by showing the persistence of majority of invariant tori associated to non-degenerate relative equilibria on any resonant surface.The first author was partially supported by NSFC grant 19971042, the National 973 Project of China: Nonlinearity, and the outstanding young's project of the Ministry of Education of China.The second author was partially supported by NSF grant DMS9803581.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): Primary 58F05, 58F27, 58F30

Persistence of lower-dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori for generalized Hamiltonian systems

In this paper we study the persistence of lower dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori for generalized Hamiltonian systems. Here the generalized Hamiltonian systems refer to the systems which may admit a distinct number of action and angle variables. In particular, systems under consideration can be odd-dimensional. Under Rüssmann-type non-degenerate condition, by introducing a modified linear KAM iterative scheme, we proved that the majority of the lower-dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori persist under small perturbations for generalized Hamiltonian systems.     

Partial preservation of frequencies and floquet exponents in KAM theory

Under a small perturbation of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system, invariant tori with Diophantine frequencies of motion are not destroyed but only slightly deformed, provided that the Hessian (with respect to the action variables) of the unperturbed Hamiltonian vanishes nowhere (the Kolmogorov nondegeneracy). The motion on every perturbed torus is quasiperiodic with the same frequencies. In this sense the frequencies of invariant tori of the unperturbed system are preserved. Recently, it has been found that the Kolmogorov nondegeneracy condition can be weakened so as to guarantee the preservation of only some subset of frequencies. Such partial preservation of frequencies can also be defined for lower dimensional invariant tori, whose dimension is less than the number of degrees of freedom. We consider a more general problem of partial preservation not only of the frequencies of invariant tori but also of their Floquet exponents (the eigenvalues of the coefficient matrix of the variational equation along the torus). The results are formulated for Hamiltonian, reversible, and dissipative systems (with a complete proof for the reversible case).     

KAM theory near multiplicity one resonant surfaces in perturbations of a-priori stable hamiltonian systems

Summary We consider a near-integrable Hamiltonian system in the action-angle variables with analytic Hamiltonian. For a given resonant surface of multiplicity one we show that near a Cantor set of points on this surface, whose remaining frequencies enjoy the usual diophantine condition, the Hamiltonian may be written in a simple normal form which, under certain assumptions, may be related to the class which, following Chierchia and Gallavotti [1994], we calla-priori unstable. For the a-priori unstable Hamiltonian we prove a KAM-type result for the survival of whiskered tori under the perturbation as an infinitely differentiable family, in the sense of Whitney, which can then be applied to the above normal form in the neighborhood of the resonant surface. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Juan C. Simo This paper was solicited by the editors to be part of a volume dedicated to the memory of Juan C. Simo.

Umbilical torus bifurcations in Hamiltonian systems

We consider perturbations of integrable Hamiltonian systems in the neighbourhood of normally umbilic invariant tori. These lower dimensional tori do not satisfy the usual non-degeneracy conditions that would yield persistence by an adaption of KAM theory, and there are indeed regions in parameter space with no surviving torus. We assume appropriate transversality conditions to hold so that the tori in the unperturbed system bifurcate according to a (generalised) umbilical catastrophe. Combining techniques of KAM theory and singularity theory we show that such bifurcation scenarios of invariant tori survive the perturbation on large Cantor sets. Applications to gyrostat dynamics are pointed out.     

Persistence of hyperbolic tori in Hamiltonian systems

We generalize the well-known result of Graff and Zehnder on the persistence of hyperbolic invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems by considering non-Floquet, frequency varying normal forms and allowing the degeneracy of the unperturbed frequencies. The preservation of part or full frequency components associated to the degree of non-degeneracy is considered. As applications, we consider the persistence problem of hyperbolic tori on a submanifold of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system and the persistence problem of a fixed invariant hyperbolic torus in a non-integrable Hamiltonian system.     

Persistence of Hyperbolic Tori in Generalized Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper we prove the persistence of hyperbolic invariant tori in generalized Hamiltonian systems, which may admit a distinct number of action and angle variables. The systems under consideration can be odd dimensional in tangent direction. Our results generalize the well-known results of Graff and Zehnder in standard Hamiltonians. In our case the unperturbed Hamiltonian systems may be degenerate. We also consider the persistence problem of hyperbolic tori on sub manifolds.     

Splitting Potential and the Poincaré-Melnikov Method for Whiskered Tori in Hamiltonian Systems

Summary. We deal with a perturbation of a hyperbolic integrable Hamiltonian system with n+1 degrees of freedom. The integrable system is assumed to have n -dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori with coincident whiskers (separatrices). Following Eliasson, we use a geometric approach closely related to the Lagrangian properties of the whiskers, to show that the splitting distance between the perturbed stable and unstable whiskers is the gradient of a periodic scalar function of n phases, which we call splitting potential. This geometric approach works for both the singular (or weakly hyperbolic) case and the regular (or strongly hyperbolic) case, and provides the existence of at least n+1 homoclinic intersections between the perturbed whiskers. In the regular case, we also obtain a first-order approximation for the splitting potential, that we call Melnikov potential. Its gradient, the (vector) Melnikov function, provides a first-order approximation for the splitting distance. Then the nondegenerate critical points of the Melnikov potential give rise to transverse homoclinic intersections between the whiskers. Generically, when the Melnikov potential is a Morse function, there exist at least 2 ⁿ critical points. The first-order approximation relies on the n -dimensional Poincaré-Melnikov method, to which an important part of the paper is devoted. We develop the method in a general setting, giving the Melnikov potential and the Melnikov function in terms of absolutely convergent integrals, which take into account the phase drift along the separatrix and the first-order deformation of the perturbed hyperbolic tori. We provide formulas useful in several cases, and carry out explicit computations that show that the Melnikov potential is a Morse function, in different kinds of examples.

Persistence of lower dimensional tori of general types in Hamiltonian systems

This work is a generalization to a result of J. You (1999). We study the persistence of lower dimensional tori of general type in Hamiltonian systems of general normal forms. By introducing a modified linear KAM iterative scheme to deal with small divisors, we shall prove a persistence result, under a Melnikov type of non-resonance condition, which particularly allows multiple and degenerate normal frequencies of the unperturbed lower dimensional tori.

     

Invariant tori for non conservative perturbations of integrable systems

We prove some results on the persistence of invariant tori for non hamiltonian perturbations of integrable systems. We also obtain persistence for the case where the unperturbed torus is resonant. In such a case the persistence of invariant tori is ensured for small, but outside of a neighbourhood of zero. Received June 1999 – Revised October 1999     

The Isoenergetic KAM-Type Theorem at Resonant Case for Nearly Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper, we study the persistence of resonant invariant tori on energy surfaces for nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems under the usual R$\ddot{u}$ssmann nondegenerate condition. By a quasilinear iterative scheme, we prove the following things: (1) The majority of resonant tori on a given energy surface will be persisted under R$\ddot{u}$ssmann nondegenerate condition. (2) The maximal number about the preserved frequency components on a perturbed torus is characterized by the smaller of the maximal rank of the Hessian matrices of the unperturbed system and the nondegeneracy of resonance. (3) If unperturbed systems admit subisoenergetic nondegeneracy on an energy surface, then the majority of the unperturbed resonant tori on the energy surface will be persisted and give rise to a family of perturbed tori with the same energy, whose frequency ratios among respective ''nondegenerate'' components are preserved.     

Transverse intersections between invariant manifolds of doubly hyperbolic invariant tori, via the Poincaré-Mel’nikov method

We consider a perturbation of an integrable Hamiltonian system having an equilibrium point of elliptic-hyperbolic type, having a homoclinic orbit. More precisely, we consider an (n + 2)-degree-of-freedom near integrable Hamiltonian with n centers and 2 saddles, and assume that the homoclinic orbit is preserved under the perturbation. On the center manifold near the equilibrium, there is a Cantorian family of hyperbolic KAM tori, and we study the homoclinic intersections between the stable and unstable manifolds associated to such tori. We establish that, in general, the manifolds intersect along transverse homoclinic orbits. In a more concrete model, such homoclinic orbits can be detected, in a first approximation, from nondegenerate critical points of a Mel’nikov potential. We provide bounds for the number of transverse homoclinic orbits using that, in general, the potential will be a Morse function (which gives a lower bound) and can be approximated by a trigonometric polynomial (which gives an upper bound).     

Persistence of lower-dimensional tori under the first Melnikov's non-resonance condition

In this paper we prove the persistence of lower-dimensional invariant tori of integrable equations after Hamiltonian perturbations under the first Melnikov's non-resonance condition. The proof is based on an improved KAM machinery which works for the angle variable dependent normal form. By an example, we also show the necessity of the Melnikov's first non-resonance condition for the persistence of lower dimensional tori.     

Invariant tori in perturbed three vortex motion

The motion of three point vortices in an ideal fluid in a plane comprises a Hamiltonian dynamical system – one that is completely integrable, so it exhibits numerous periodic orbits, and quasiperiodic orbits on invariant tori. Certain perturbations of three vortex dynamics, such as three vortex motion in a half-plane, are also Hamiltonian, but not completely integrable. Yet these perturbed systems may still have periodic trajectories and invariant tori close to those for the unperturbed dynamics. Extending recent work by the authors [4], invariant 2-tori approximating those for the unperturbed system are located and analyzed using a combination of classical analysis, asymptotics, and Hamiltonian methods. It is shown that the results and approximation methods used are applicable to several perturbations of three vortex dynamics such as three vortices in a half-plane, the restricted four vortex problem in the plane, and three coaxial vortex rings in 3-space.
