Exponentially Small Asymptotic Estimates for the Splitting of Separatrices to Whiskered Tori with Quadratic and Cubic Frequencies

چکیده
We study the splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered tori with two or three frequencies in nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems, such that the hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum. We consider a 2-dimensional torus with a frequency vector ω = (1,Ω), where Ω is a quadratic irrational number, or a 3-dimensional torus with a frequency vector ω = (1,Ω,Ω2), where Ω is a cubic irrational number. Applying the Poincaré–Melnikov method, we find exponentially small asymptotic estimates for the maximal splitting distance between the stable and unstable manifolds associated to the invariant torus, and we show that such estimates depend strongly on the arithmetic properties of the frequencies. In the quadratic case, we use the continued fractions theory to establish a certain arithmetic property, fulfilled in 24 cases, which allows us to provide asymptotic estimates in a simple way. In the cubic case, we focus our attention to the case in which Ω is the so-called cubic golden number (the real root of x3 + x− 1 = 0), obtaining also asymptotic estimates. We point out the similitudes and differences between the results obtained for both the quadratic and cubic cases.

A methodology for obtaining asymptotic estimates for the exponentially small splitting of separatrices to whiskered tori with quadratic frequencies
The aim of this work is to provide asymptotic estimates for the splitting of separatrices in a perturbed 3-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system, associated to a 2-dimensional whiskered torus (invariant hyperbolic torus) whose frequency ratio is a quadratic irrational number. We show that the dependence of the asymptotic estimates on the perturbation parameter is described by some functions whic...

The splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered (hyperbolic) tori with two frequencies in a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system, whose hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum, is studied. We consider a torus with a fast frequency vector ω/ √ ε, with ω = (1,Ω) where the frequency ratio Ω is a quadratic irrational number. Applying the Poincaré-Melnikov method, we carry out a careful study of th...
متن کاملContinuation of the exponentially small transversality for the splitting of separatrices to a whiskered torus with silver ratio
We study the exponentially small splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered (hyperbolic) tori with two fast frequencies in nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems whose hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum. We consider a torus whose frequency ratio is the silver number Ω = √ 2 − 1. We show that the Poincaré–Melnikov method can be applied to establish the existence of 4 transverse homoclinic ...

We study the splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered tori with two frequencies in nearlyintegrable Hamiltonian systems, such that the hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum. We consider a two-dimensional torus with a fast frequency vector ω/ √ ε, with ω = (1,Ω) where Ω is an irrational number of constant type, i.e. a number whose continued fraction has bounded entries. Applying the Poinca...
متن کاملExponentially Small Splitting for the Pendulum: A Classical Problem Revisited
Abstract. In this paper, we study the classical problem of the exponentially small splitting of separatrices of the rapidly forced pendulum. Firstly, we give an asymptotic formula for the distance between the perturbed invariant manifolds in the so-called singular case and we compare it with the prediction of Melnikov Theory. Secondly, we give exponentially small upper bounds in some cases in w...
