Description
Springer Hamiltonian Dynamics - Theory And Applications Lectures Given At The C.I.M.E. Summer School 2005 Edition by Giancarlo Benettin Jacques Henrard Sergej B. Kuksin Antonio Giorgilli
This volume compiles three series of lectures on applications of the theory of Hamiltonian systems contributed by some of the specialists in the field. The aim is to describe the state of the art for some interesting problems such as the Hamiltonian theory for infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems including KAM theory the recent extensions of the theory of adiabatic invariants and the phenomena related to stability over exponentially long times of Nekhoroshev's theory. The books may serve as an excellent basis for young researchers who will find here a complete and accurate exposition of recent original results and many hints for further investigation. Table of contents : A. Giorgilli: Preface.- G. Benettin: Physical Applications of Nekhoroshev Theorem and Exponential Estimates.- J. Henrard: The Adiabatic Invariant Theory and Applications.- S. Kuksin: Lectures on Hamiltonian Methods in Nonlinear PDEs.
