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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

KAM-Type Theorem on Resonant Surfaces for Nearly Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

Summary. In this paper, we consider analytic perturbations of an integrable Hamiltonian system in a given resonant surface. It is proved that, for most frequencies on the resonant surface, the resonant torus foliated by nonresonant lower dimensional tori is not destroyed completely and that there are some lower dimensional tori which survive the perturbation if the Hamiltonian satisfies a certain nondegenerate condition. The surviving tori might be elliptic, hyperbolic, or of mixed type. This shows that there are many orbits in the resonant zone which are regular as in the case of integrable systems. This behavior might serve as an obstacle to Arnold diffusion. The persistence of hyperbolic lower dimensional tori has been considered by many authors [5], [6], [15], [16], mainly for multiplicity one resonant case. To deal with the mechanisms of the destruction of the resonant tori of higher multiplicity into nonhyperbolic lower dimensional tori, we have to deal with some small coefficient matrices that are the generalization of small divisors.

Symbolic dynamics and Arnold diffusion

We consider hyperbolic tori of three degrees of freedom initially hyperbolic Hamiltonian systems. We prove that if the stable and unstable manifold of a hyperbolic torus intersect transversaly, then there exists a hyperbolic invariant set near a homoclinic orbit on which the dynamics is conjugated to a Bernoulli shift. The proof is based on a new geometrico-dynamical feature of partially hyperbolic systems, the transversality-torsion phenomenon, which produces complete hyperbolicity from partial hyperbolicity. We deduce the existence of infinitely many hyperbolic periodic orbits near the given torus. The relevance of these results for the instability of near-integrable Hamiltonian systems is then discussed. For a given transition chain, we construct chain of hyperbolic periodic orbits. Then we easily prove the existence of periodic orbits of arbitrarily high period close to such chain using standard results on hyperbolic sets.     

KAM Type-Theorem for Lower Dimensional Tori in Random Hamiltonian Systems

In this paper, we study the persistence of lower dimensional tori for random Hamiltonian systems, which shows that majority of the unperturbed tori persist as Cantor fragments of lower dimensional ones under small perturbation. Using this result, we can describe the stability of the non-autonomous dynamic systems.     

Multiscale KAM theorem for Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the persistence of invariant tori in nearly integrable multiscale Hamiltonian systems with highorder degeneracy in the integrable part. Such Hamiltonian systems arise naturally in planar and spatial lunar problems of celestial mechanics for which the persistence problem connects closely to the stability of the systems. We introduce multiscale nondegenerate condition and multiscale Diophantine condition, comparable to the usual Diophantine condition. Using quasilinear KAM method, we prove a multiscale KAM theorem.     

Chaotic dynamics of homogeneous Yang-Mills fields with two degrees of freedom

In the present paper, we consider a scenario of transition to chaotic dynamics in the Hamiltonian system of homogeneous Yang-Mills fields with two degrees of freedom in the case of the Higgs mechanism. We show that in such a system, as well as in other Hamiltonian and conservative systems of equations, the nonlocal effect of multiplication of hyperbolic and elliptic cycles and tori around elliptic cycles in neighborhoods of the separatrix surfaces of hyperbolic cycles plays a key role on the initial stage of transition from a regular motion to a chaotic one. We observe that the new elliptic and hyperbolic cycles of the Hamiltonian system are generated as stable and saddle cycles of the extended dissipative system of equations not only as a result of saddle-node bifurcations but also as a result of fork-type bifurcations.

PERSISTENCE OF RESONANT INVARIANT TORI WITH NON-HAMILTONIAN PERTURBATION

A persistence theorem for resonant invariant tori with non-Hamiltonian perturbation is proved. The method is a combination of the theory of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds and an appropriate continuation method. The results obtained are extensions of Chicone‘s for the three dimensional non-Hamiltonian systems.     

Numerical invariant tori of symplectic integrators for integrable Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the persistence of invariant tori of integrable Hamiltonian systems satisfying Rssmann's non-degeneracy condition when symplectic integrators are applied to them. Meanwhile, we give an estimate of the measure of the set occupied by the invariant tori in the phase space. On an invariant torus,numerical solutions are quasi-periodic with a diophantine frequency vector of time step size dependence. These results generalize Shang's previous ones(1999, 2000), where the non-degeneracy condition is assumed in the sense of Kolmogorov.     

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.

     

On the nature of dynamic chaos in a neighborhood of a separatrix of a conservative system

In the present paper, we give a new treatment of the mechanism of generation of chaotic dynamics in a perturbed conservative system in a neighborhood of the separatrix contour of a hyperbolic singular point of the unperturbed system. We theoretically prove and justify by three numerical examples of classical Hamiltonian systems with one and a half degrees of freedom and by an example of a simply conservative three-dimensional system that the complication of the dynamics in a conservative system as the perturbation increases is caused by a nonlocal effect of multiplication of hyperbolic and elliptic cycles (and the tori surrounding them), which has nothing in common with the mechanism of separatrix splitting in classical Hamiltonian mechanics.     

Invariant tori for commuting Hamiltonian PDEs

We generalize to some PDEs a theorem by Eliasson and Nekhoroshev on the persistence of invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems with r integrals of motion and n degrees of freedom, r?n. The result we get ensures the persistence of an r-parameter family of r-dimensional invariant tori. The parameters belong to a Cantor-like set. The proof is based on the Lyapunov-Schmidt decomposition and on the standard implicit function theorem. Some of the persistent tori are resonant. We also give an application to the nonlinear wave equation with periodic boundary conditions on a segment and to a system of coupled beam equations. In the first case we construct 2-dimensional tori, while in the second case we construct 3-dimensional tori.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.
