Abstract
In this paper we reformulate a formal KAM theorem for Hamiltonian systems with parameters under Bruno-Rüssmann condition. The proof is based on KAM iteration and the key is to adjust the parameters for small divisors after KAM iteration instead of in each KAM step. By this formal KAM theorem we can follow some well known KAM-type results for hyperbolic tori. Moreover, it can also be applied to the persistence of invariant tori with prescribed frequencies.

1 Introduction
With the development of KAM theory, there are many well known KAM theorems [1, 4, 10, 12,13,14, 16, 21, 22]. The classical KAM theorem [1, 10, 16] asserts that if the frequency mapping satisfies Kolmogorov non-degeneracy condition, then the Lagrangian invariant tori with Diophantine frequencies can persist under small perturbations. Kolmogorov non-degeneracy condition can be weakened to Bruno non-degeneracy condition and Rüssmann non-degeneracy condition [6, 19, 23, 26], in particular, Rüssmann non-degeneracy condition is sharpest one for KAM theorems. Moreover, the Diophantine condition can be weakened to the Bruno-Rüssmann condition [2, 8, 17,18,19,20]. In addition, a similar problem for non-Hamiltonian vector fields with Bruno frequency vectors is studied in [9]. In particular, as an alternative to the KAM method, the renormalization method is used in [8, 9].
In this paper we are concerned about lower dimensional invariant tori with Bruno frequency vectors in Hamiltonian systems. Consider the following real analytic nearly integrable Hamiltonians
The phase space is \(T^n\times {\mathbb {R}}^n\times {\mathbb {R}}^m\times {\mathbb {R}}^m\) associated with the symplectic structure
where \(T^n={\mathbb {R}}^n/2\pi {\mathbb {Z}}^n\) is the n-torus. The tangential frequency \(\omega \) is regarded as a parameter and is usually implied for simplicity of notations. Assume \(\Omega _j\ne 0, \ \forall j=1, 2, \ldots m,\) which usually depend on \(\omega \). P is a small perturbation. If \(P=0\), then Hamiltonian \(H_+\) (\(H_-\)) becomes a normal form and has a parameterized family of elliptic (hyperbolic) lower dimensional invariant tori \({\mathcal {T}}_\omega =T^n\times \{0\}\times \{0\}\times \{0\}\) with frequencies \(\omega \).
Melnikov [12, 13] concluded that if P is sufficiently small, for most of the frequency parameters \(\omega \), the invariant tori \({\mathcal {T}}_\omega \) for Hamiltonian \(H_+\) can persist under the following non-resonance conditions:
where (1.2) is called the first Melnikov condition, while (1.3) and (1.4) are called the second Melnikov condition. Later the result is improved by Pöschel and Bourgain [3, 17].
As to hyperbolic invariant tori for Hamiltonian \(H_-\), there are many well known KAM theorems [5, 7, 11, 15], which are essentially some extension of Lagrangian invariant tori. Actually, hyperbolic case is much simpler than elliptic case since there is no problem of Melnikov conditions.
Recently, Xu and Lu [24] developed some new KAM techniques to prove two formal KAM theorems, which can be used to prove various kinds of KAM theorems for Lagrangian tori and elliptic lower dimensional tori. Note that the frequency considered in [24] is Diophantine. By motivation of [24], in this paper we want to give a formal KAM theorem for hyperbolic invariant tori under Bruno-Rüssmann non-resonance. By this formal KAM theorem, many previous results can be direct corollaries.
2 Main Result
For s, \(r>0\), let \(T_{s}=\bigl \{x \in {\mathbb {C}}^n/2\pi {\mathbb {Z}}^{n}\ | \ |\textrm{Im}x|\le s \bigr \}\) and
where \(|\cdot |\) is the sup-norm, \(|\cdot |_1\) is the \(l^1-\)norm, and \(|\cdot |_2\) indicates the Euclidean norm. Let \(U\subset {\mathbb {R}}^n\) be a domain and \(\ell \ge 0\) be an integer.
Consider a parameterized Hamiltonian
where \(w=(x,y,u,v)\) is the phase variable and \(\xi \) is a parameter. It is easy to see that \((u, v)=(0,0)\) is a hyperbolic equilibrium for Hamiltonian H if \(P=0\). Here we should note that under the symplectic mapping, \(\frac{u-v}{\sqrt{2}}={\tilde{u}}\), \(\frac{u+v}{\sqrt{2}}={\tilde{v}},\) \(\langle \Omega {\tilde{u}},{\tilde{v}}\rangle =\frac{1}{2}\mathop \sum \nolimits _{j=1}^m\Omega _j(u_j^2- v_j^2).\) So we use the normal form in (2.1) for convenience.
Assume that \(H(\xi ;w)\) is analytic in w on \(D_{s,r}\) and \(C^{\ell }\)-smooth in \(\xi \) on U. Then \(P(\xi ;w)\) can be expanded as Fourier series with respect to x with
where \(P_k(\xi ;{\bar{w}})=\sum \nolimits _{i\in {\mathbb {Z}}_+^n,j,l\in {\mathbb {Z}}_+^m}P_{ijlk}(\xi )y^iu^jv^l\), where \({\mathbb {Z}}_+^n\) is composed of all the integer vectors with nonnegative components, and \({\mathbb {Z}}_+^m\) has the same meaning.
Denote by \(C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s,r})\) the set which consists of functions that are analytic in w on \(D_{s,r}\) and \(C^{\ell }\)-smooth in \(\xi \) on U. For \(P\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s,r}),\) we define
where
with the weighted norm
where \(\beta \in {\mathbb {Z}}_+^n\) and \(\alpha \) is a constant in (2.4).
2.1 Bruno-Rüssmann Condition
Let \(\Xi :[0,+\infty )\rightarrow [1,+\infty )\) be a nondecreasing unbounded function. \(\Xi \) is called an approximating function if
and
Moreover, assume that the approximation function \(\Xi (t)\) is sufficiently increasing, which is absolutely continuous and satisfies the condition (5.3) in the Appendix.
If
where \(0<\alpha \le 1\), we call \(\omega \) satisfies Bruno-Rüssmann condition.
Theorem 2.1
(The formal KAM theorem) Let \(H\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s,r})\) be given in (2.1). Then for \(0<\sigma \le s/2\), there exists a sufficiently small \(\gamma >0\), such that if
there exist a \(C^{\ell }(U)\)-smooth family of parameterized symplectic mappings \(\{\Psi (\xi ;\cdot )\}_{\xi \in U}\) and a family of Hamiltonians \(\{H_*(\xi ;\cdot )\}_{\xi \in U}\) with the following conclusions holding true:
-
(1)
\(\Psi _*\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s/2,r/2})\) with
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert W(\Psi _*-id)\Vert _{U\times D_{s/2,r/2}}\le c\Delta (\sigma )\gamma , \end{aligned}$$where \(W=diag(\sigma ^{-1}Id,r^{-2}Id,r^{-1}Id,r^{-1}Id)\), and \(\Delta (\sigma )\) is as shown in (5.2).
-
(2)
$$\begin{aligned} H_*(\xi ;w)=N_*(\xi ;w)+P_*(\xi ;w), \end{aligned}$$(2.6)
where \(N_*(\xi ;w)=\big \langle \omega _*(\xi ),y\big \rangle +\big \langle \Omega u,v\big \rangle +\big \langle Q_*(\xi ;x) z, z\big \rangle \) with \(z=(u, v)^T\), and
$$\begin{aligned} P_*(w)=\mathop {\sum }\limits _{2|i|+|j|+|l| > 2}P_{*\beta }(x){\bar{w}}^\beta , \ \ {\bar{w}}^\beta =y^iu^jv^l. \end{aligned}$$Furthermore,
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert \omega _*-\omega \Vert _{{\mathcal {C}}^{\ell }(U)}\le 2\alpha \gamma , \ \ \Vert Q_*\Vert _{{\mathcal {C}}^{\ell }(U)\times T_{s/2}}\le c\Delta (\sigma )\gamma . \end{aligned}$$(2.7) -
(3)
If for some \(\xi \in U\), \(\omega _*(\xi )\) satisfies (2.4), then
$$\begin{aligned} H\circ \Psi _*(\xi ;w)=H_*(\xi ;w), \end{aligned}$$therefore, \(H(\xi ;\cdot )\) has an invariant torus \(\Psi _*(\xi ; T^n\times \{0\}\times \{0\}\times \{0\})\) with frequencies \(\omega _*(\xi )\).
Remark 2.1
Note that in Theorem 2.1 we use the Bruno-Rüssmann condition, which is a little weaker than the Diophantine condition in [24]. Moreover, we can have a similar result for elliptic lower dimensional tori. For simplicity we do not mention elliptic case in this paper.
3 Applications of Theorem 2.1
In this section we give some applications of Theorem 2.1 in two non-degenerate cases and delay the proof to the next section.

(1)
Bruno non-degenerate case Consider a real analytic Hamiltonian
$$\begin{aligned} H(q, p, u,v)=h(p)+ \langle \Omega u, v\rangle +f(q,p, u,v), \end{aligned}$$(3.1)where \(\Omega =\text{ diag }(\Omega _1, \cdots \Omega _m)\) with \(\Omega _j\ne 0\), for \(\forall j=1,2,\cdots m\) and f is a sufficiently small perturbation. The phase space is \( T^n\times D\times {\mathbb {R}}^m\times {\mathbb {R}}^m\), where \(D\subset {\mathbb {R}}^n\) is an open domain. By introducing parameters, we consider an equivalent system. Let \(q=x\), \(p=y+\xi \), \(w=(x, y, u, v)\), then
$$\begin{aligned} H(q,p, u, v)&=h(y+\xi )+\big \langle \Omega u,v\big \rangle +f(x, \xi +y, u, v)\nonumber \\&=e+\big \langle \omega (\xi ),y\big \rangle +\big \langle \Omega u,v\big \rangle +P(\xi ; w), \end{aligned}$$(3.2)where \(e=h(\xi )\) is an energy constant, which is usually ignored, \(\omega (\xi )=h_p(\xi ),\) and \(P(\xi ; w)=O(y^2)+f(\xi +y;x,y, u, v)\), where \(O(y^2)= h(\xi +y)-h(\xi )-\big \langle \omega (\xi ),y\big \rangle .\) Consider the parameterized Hamiltonian (3.2), which is real analytic in w on \(D_{s,r}\) and \(C^{\ell }\)-smooth in \(\xi \) on U, where \(U=\{\xi \in D \ | \ \text{ dist } (x, \partial D)\ge \delta _0>0\}\). Suppose the Bruno non-degeneracy condition holds:
$$\begin{aligned} \text{ rank }(\partial _{\xi }\omega )=n-1, \ \ \text{ rank } (\partial _{\xi }\omega ^T,\omega ^T)=n, \ \ \forall \xi \in U. \end{aligned}$$(3.3)Let
$$\begin{aligned} | f(q,p, u,v)|\le \varepsilon , \ \forall q\in T_s, \ p\in D, \ |u|\le \delta ,\ |v|\le \delta . \end{aligned}$$Let \(r=\varepsilon ^{\frac{1}{4}}\le \min \{\delta _0, \delta \}.\) Then
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert P\Vert _{U\times D_{s,r}}\le \varepsilon +cr^4\le c\varepsilon =\epsilon =\alpha \gamma r^2, \end{aligned}$$where \(\gamma =\frac{c\varepsilon ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\alpha }.\) If \(\varepsilon \) is sufficiently small, Theorem 2.1 holds for Hamiltonian (3.2). Obviously, \(\gamma \) is sufficiently small if \(\varepsilon \) is sufficiently small. By measure estimate it follows that for most of \(\xi \in U\), \(\omega (\xi )\) satisfies (2.4). Moreover, \(\omega _*(\xi )\) is a small perturbation of \(\omega \). Since \(\omega (\xi )\) is Bruno non-degenerate and \(\omega _*\) is a small perturbation of \(\omega \), by measure estimate as in [17, 24], we can prove that for most of \(\xi \) in the sense of Lebesgue measure, \(\omega _*(\xi )\) satisfies (2.4). By Theorem 2.1, for \(\xi \in U\) such that \(\omega _*(\xi )\) satisfies (2.4), then the original Hamiltonian
$$\begin{aligned} H(\xi ;w)=\big \langle \omega (\xi ),y\big \rangle +\big \langle \Omega u,v\big \rangle +P(\xi ;w), \ \ \xi \in U \end{aligned}$$can be normalized to
$$\begin{aligned} H_*(\xi ;w)=\big \langle \omega _*(\xi ),y\big \rangle +\big \langle \Omega _* u,v\big \rangle +P_*(\xi ;w), \ \ \xi \in U, \end{aligned}$$and then it admits a lower dimensional invariant torus with frequencies \(\omega _*(\xi )\). However, in this paper we are interested in the persistence of an invariant torus of the unperturbed system with frequency \(\omega _0=\omega (\xi _0)\) (\(\xi _0\in U\)). If \(\omega _0\) satisfies (2.4), since \(\omega (\xi )\) is Bruno non-degenerate in the sense of (3.3), in the same way as in [24] (Here we refer to Proposition 1 in [24] for details), there exist a \(\xi \in U\) and a small constant \(\lambda =O(\varepsilon )\) such that \(\omega _*(\xi )=(1+\lambda )\omega _0.\) By Theorem 2.1, Hamiltonian H has an invariant torus with the frequency \(\omega _*(\xi )\), which is a small dilation of \(\omega _0\).

(2)
Rüssmann non-degenerate case In this case we can also obtain many invariant tori by standard KAM method if f is sufficiently small, but we cannot get more information about their frequencies. Here we are concerned about the persistence of KAM tori with prescribed frequencies. Consider the Hamiltonian H in (3.1) with
$$\begin{aligned} h(y)=\langle \omega _0, y\rangle + y_1^{2l_1}+\cdots +y_n^{2l_n},\ \ |y|\le 2\delta _0, \ \ l_1,l_2,\cdots l_n\ge 2. \end{aligned}$$Then \(\omega (\xi )=\omega _0+(2l_1\xi _1^{2l_1-1}, \cdots 2l_n\xi _n^{2l_n-1})\). Assume that \(\omega _0\) satisfies (2.4). Obviously, \(\text{ deg }(\omega , U,\omega _0)\ne 0,\) where \(U=\{\xi \in {\mathbb {R}}^n \ | \ |\xi |\le \delta _0 \}\). By Theorem 2.1, if f is sufficiently small, \(\text{ deg }(\omega _*, U,\omega _0)\ne 0.\) Then there exists \(\xi _*\in U\), such that \(\omega _*(\xi _*)=\omega _0\) and so \(H(\xi _*;\cdot )\) has a hyperbolic lower dimensional invariant torus with frequencies \(\omega _0\).
4 Proof of Theorem 2.1
In this section we are going to prove Theorem 2.1. Our KAM iteration is divided into several parts. Let
By the property of approximation functions, \(\Gamma (\sigma )\) is well defined.
4.1 KAM Step and Iteration Lemma
Our KAM step is summarized in the following iteration lemma.
Lemma 4.1
(Iteration Lemma) Consider \(H(\xi ;w)=N(\xi ; w)+P(\xi ;w), \) where
is a normal form, with \( z=(u,v)^T\), \( Q(\xi ; x)\) is a small 2m-order symmetric matrix, and P is a perturbation.
Let \(H\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s,r})\), and \(\Vert Q\Vert _{U\times T_s}\ll 1.\) Suppose
Let \(r_+=\eta r\), \(s_+=s-4\sigma \). If \(\epsilon >0\) is sufficiently small, then the following results hold true:
-
(1)
There exists a parameterized family of symplectic mappings \(\{\Phi (\xi ;\cdot ), \ \xi \in U\}\), such that \(\Phi \in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s_+,r_+})\) with
$$\begin{aligned} \Phi (\xi ;\cdot ): D_{s_+,r_+}\rightarrow D_{s,r}. \end{aligned}$$Moreover,
$$\begin{aligned} ||W(\Phi -id)||_{U\times D_{s_+,r_+}}\le c\Gamma E \end{aligned}$$and
$$\begin{aligned} ||W({\mathcal {D}}\Phi -Id)W^{-1}||_{U\times D_{s_+,r_+}} \le c\Gamma E, \end{aligned}$$where \(W=diag(\sigma ^{-1}Id,r^{-2}Id,r^{-1}Id,r^{-1}Id)\) and \({\mathcal {D}}\) denotes the differential operator with respect to w.
-
(2)
There exists a Hamiltonian \(H_+\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s_+,r_+})\) with
$$\begin{aligned} H_+(\xi ;w)=N_+(\xi ; w)+P_+(\xi ;w), \end{aligned}$$where \(N_+(\xi ; w)=\langle \omega _+(\xi ),y\rangle +\langle \Omega u, v\rangle + \big \langle Q_+(\xi ; x) z, z\big \rangle \), and \(\omega _+=\omega +{\hat{\omega }}\). Moreover,
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert {\hat{\omega }}\Vert \le \frac{\epsilon }{r^2}, \ \ \ \Vert Q_+-Q\Vert _{U\times T_{s}}\le c \Gamma E. \end{aligned}$$(4.1)Furthermore, \(P_+\) satisfies
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert P_+\Vert _{U\times D_{s-4\sigma ,\eta r}}\le c\Gamma E\epsilon +ce^{-K\sigma }\epsilon +c{\eta ^3}\epsilon . \end{aligned}$$ -
(3)
Set
$$\begin{aligned} R_{\alpha }^K=\left\{ \omega \in {\mathbb {R}}^n \ | \ |\langle k,\omega \rangle |\ge \frac{\alpha }{\Xi (|k|)}, \ 0< |k|\le K \right\} \end{aligned}$$and
$$\begin{aligned} {\tilde{U}}=\{\xi \in U \ | \ \omega (\xi )\in R_{\alpha }^K\}. \end{aligned}$$(4.2)Then,
$$\begin{aligned} H\circ \Phi (\xi ;w)=H_+(\xi ;w)=N_+(\xi ;w)+P_+(\xi ;w), \ \forall \ \xi \in {\tilde{U}}. \end{aligned}$$Moreover, define
$$\begin{aligned} \ {\tilde{U}}_+=\left\{ \xi \in U \ | \ \omega _+(\xi )\in R_{\alpha _+}^{K_+}\right\} , \end{aligned}$$(4.3)where \(K_+>K\). If \(2K\Xi (K)\epsilon \le (\alpha _+-\alpha )r^2\), then \({\tilde{U}}_+\subset {\tilde{U}}\).
4.1.1 Proof of Iteration Lemma
1. Truncation Let
Make a truncation for the perturbation P and let
and
here and below \(\xi \) is implied without confusion.
Let
where
Since R is composed of the zero-order terms and the one-order terms of P, by Cauchy’s estimate we have \(\Vert R\Vert _{U\times D_{s,r}}\le 4\epsilon \). Then we truncate the Fourier series of R at order K to obtain \(R^K\). By the definition of the norm, we have
and
2. Construction of symplectic transformations The symplectic mapping \(\Phi \) is the flow \(X_F^t\) at 1-time, where F will be decided later. Let
Let \(G=(F_{010}, F_{001})^T\) and J be the standard 2m-th symplectic matrix. Let \(H =N+R+(P-R)\), it follows that
where \(\{\cdot ,\cdot \}\) denotes the Poisson bracket.
Then
It follows that
where \(\partial _{\omega }F\overset{\text {def}}{=}\big \langle \omega ,F_x\big \rangle \) and
where
Then, we need to solve the equations:
where \(M=\text{ diag }(-\Omega , \Omega )\), \(g=(P_{010}, P_{001})^T\), \([ \ \cdot \ ]\) denotes the mean value over \(T^n\).
3. Extension of small divisors Take a \(C^{\infty }({\mathbb {R}})\)-smooth function \(\psi (t)\) such that
For \(h>0\), set \(\psi _h(t)= \psi (\frac{t}{h})\). Then \(\psi _h(t)\in C^{\infty }({\mathbb {R}})\) with the estimate:
where \(c_{l}\) is a constant depending on l.
Set
Recall the definition of \({\tilde{U}}\), it follows easily that for \(\xi \in {\tilde{U}}\), \(f_k(\xi )=\frac{1}{\mathrm i\langle k,\omega (\xi )\rangle }\). Here, we observe that even though \({\tilde{U}}=\emptyset \), the extension \(f_k(\xi )\) is still well defined on U. Then \(f_k(\xi )\in C^{\ell }(U)\), which satisfies
Set
where the subscript \(\flat =000,100, \ 0<|k|\le K\). Then we extend \( F_{\flat k}(\xi ;{\bar{w}})\) for \(\xi \) from \({\tilde{U}}\) to the whole set U.
4. Solving the homological equations The first two equations for (4.6) are standard. By the extension of small divisors, in the same way as in [24, 25], we have \(F_{000}\) and \(F_{100}\) such that
and
where \(\Gamma _{\ell +1}(\sigma )=\sup \limits _{t\ge 0}(1+t)^{\ell +1}\Xi ^{\ell +1}(t)e^{-\sigma t}\). Moreover, for \(\xi \in {\tilde{U}}\), where \({\tilde{U}}\) is given in (4.2), \(F_{000}\) and \( F_{100}\) are solutions of the equations.
For \(G=(F_{010}, F_{001})^T\), we apply Lemma 5.1 with \(Q_0=M,\ {\hat{Q}}=2QJ\) to have G satisfying
Therefore,
and
where \(\Gamma (\sigma )=\sup \limits _{t\ge 0}(1+t)^{\ell +2}\Xi ^{\ell +2}(t)e^{-\sigma t}\).
5. Estimates of the symplectic mapping Write the symplectic mapping as
By the construction of F and \(\Phi \), it follows that \({\tilde{b}}\) is affine in y, u, v, \({\tilde{d}}\) and \({\tilde{e}}\) are the translations of u, v, respectively. Moreover, by the estimates of F, we have
And
By Lemma 5.4, we have
Assume that
Then the symplectic mapping \(\Phi : D_{s-4\sigma ,\eta r} \rightarrow D_{ s-3\sigma ,2\eta r}\), with estimates
and
where the weight matrix \(W=\text{ diag }(\sigma ^{-1}Id,r^{-2}Id,r^{-1}Id,r^{-1}Id)\).
6. Estimates of the new error terms Recall that \(N=\big \langle \omega (\xi ),y\big \rangle +\big \langle \Omega u,v\big \rangle +\big \langle Q z, z\big \rangle \). Let \({\hat{Q}}_2=Q_x\cdot F_{100}.\) Then it follows that \(H\circ \Phi =N_++P_+,\) where \(N_+=N+{\hat{N}}\), with
By standard estimate, we get
Also note that \(P_+\) is given in (4.5). By (4.4), we have
By Taylor’s formula with remainder and Cauchy’s estimate, we have
Combining with the estimates of F, R and \({\hat{Q}}_1\), we get
where c is a constant independent of KAM steps.
In the same way as [17], we will choose iteration parameters such that the KAM step can iterate. The idea is as follows. By some suitable choices of \(K,\ \eta , \ \epsilon _+,\ r_+\) as
we can have
Moreover, it follows that
In KAM step, E will decrease rapidly and it will be so small that \(\Gamma ^{\frac{1}{3}}E^{\frac{4}{3}}\) becomes much smaller.
4.1.2 KAM Iteration
Recall that
By Lemma 5.3, for \(\sigma =s/2\), there exists a sequence \(\sigma _0\ge \sigma _1\ge \sigma _2\ge \cdots >0\), such that \(\sigma _0+\sigma _1+\sigma _2+\cdots =\sigma \) and
At the initial step, let \(H_0=H\) and set \(s_0=s\), \(r_0=r, E_0=\gamma \). For \(i\ge 0\), define
where \(\Theta _0=1\), \(a=(2c)^3\), and c is the constant in the estimate of \(P_+\). Let \( \epsilon _i=\alpha _ir_i^2E_i.\) Moreover, define \(K_i\) and \(\eta _i\) by
Here the multipliers \(2^{i+4}\) and \(2^i\) are required for small divisor conditions. Define \( r_{i+1}=\eta _ir_i, \ s_{i+1}=s_i-4\sigma _i. \)
Note that
Then we get
Note that \(\Gamma (\sigma _i)\le \Gamma (\sigma _j)\) for all \(j\ge i\). It follows that
and then
Denote by \(D_i=D_{s_i,r_i}\). By Lemma 4.1, there exists a sequence of Hamiltonians \(\{H_i(\xi ; w),\ \xi \in U,\ w\in D_i\}\) such that \(H_i\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_i)\) and \(H_{i}=N_{i}+P_{i},\) where
and \(P_i\) satisfies that
Moreover, there exists a sequence of parameterized symplectic transformations \(\{\Phi _i(\xi ; w), \ \xi \) \(\in U,\ w\in D_{i+1}\}\), such that for each \(\xi \in U\), \(\Phi _i(\xi ;w):D_{i+1}\rightarrow D_i\). Moreover, and \(\Phi _i\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{i+1})\) with estimates:
and
Let
Then for \(\xi \in {\tilde{U}}_i\),
where
By the definitions of \(\eta _i\), \(\epsilon _i\), \(E_{i}\) and \(r_{i+1}=\eta _ir_i\), it follows that
where \(a=(2c)^3\). Then
In addition,
where \({\hat{\omega _i}}=\omega _{i+1}-\omega _i\).
Let \(\Psi _0=id\), \(\Psi _i=\Phi _0\circ \Phi _1\circ \cdots \circ \Phi _{i-1}\), \(i\ge 1\). By Lemma 4.1 again, if \(2K_i\Xi (K_i)\epsilon _i\le (\alpha _{i+1}-\alpha _i)r_i^2,\) \(\forall i\ge 0\), we have \( {\tilde{U}}_i\supset {\tilde{U}}_{i+1},\ \forall i\ge 0.\) The monotonousness of \(\{{\tilde{U}}_i\}\) implies that for \(\xi \in {\tilde{U}}_i\), \(H_i=H\circ \Psi _i\).
Now we verify the assumption \(2K_i\Xi (K_i)\epsilon _i\le (\alpha _{i+1}-\alpha _i)r_i^2\), which is equivalent to \(2^{i+4}K_i\Xi (K_i)\epsilon _i/r_i^2\le \alpha \). By the definition of \(\epsilon _i\), we need to prove
Recall \(e^{-K_{i}\sigma _{i}}=2^{i+4}\Gamma (\sigma _i) E_i.\) By the definition of \(\Gamma (\sigma _i)\), it follows that
then
which shows (4.20).
4.1.3 Convergence
Now we consider the convergence of the KAM iteration. Note that \(r_i\rightarrow 0\) as \(i\rightarrow \infty \). Let \(D_i\rightarrow D_*=D_{s/2,0}\) as \(i\rightarrow \infty .\) We first consider the convergence of \(\{\Psi _i\}.\) The proof is the same way as in [17]. First we have
By (4.13), if \(a\Delta (\sigma )E_0<1\), then \(\prod _{j=0}^{\infty } (1+c\Gamma (\sigma _j)E_j)<\infty \). (4.15) and (4.16) imply that
and so \(\{\Psi _i\}\) is convergent on \(D_*\).
Note that \(\Psi _i\) has the same structure as \(\Phi _i\), and recall \(z=(u,v)^T\). Let
Since \(\{\Psi _i(\xi ; w)\}\) is convergent for \(x\in T_{s/2}, y=0, z=0,\) then \(\{A_i(x)\}\) and \(\{B_i(x)\},\ \{E_i(x)\}\) are convergent as \(i\rightarrow \infty \) for \(x\in T_{s/2}.\) Below we prove that \(\{C_i(x)\},\ \{D_i(x)\}\) are also convergent on \(T_{s/2}.\)
Let
Then \(a_i: x\in T_{s_{i+1}}\rightarrow a_i(x)\in T_{s_i}.\) By the estimate for \({\mathcal {D}}\Phi \) in Lemma 4.1, it follows that
Moreover,
where \(Id_{k}\) indicates the k-th unit matrix and
Then we have
Thus, as \(i\rightarrow \infty \), \(\{C_i(x)\}\) and \(\{D_i(x)\}\) are convergent on \(T_{s/2}.\) So \(\Psi _i\) is actually convergent on \(D_{s/2,r/2}\). Let \(\Psi _*=\mathop {\textrm{lim}}\nolimits _{i\rightarrow \infty }\Psi _i\).
Note that \(\omega _i=\omega _0+\sum \nolimits _{j=0}^{i-1}{\hat{\omega _j}}\). By (4.19), it follows \(\omega _i\rightarrow \omega _*\) as \(i\rightarrow \infty \), moreover,
In particular, noting \(\omega _0=\omega \), we have
Also note \(Q_i=\sum \nolimits _{j=0}^{i-1}{\hat{Q}}_j.\) (4.19) implies \( Q_i\rightarrow Q_*\) as \(i\rightarrow \infty \). Recall that \(E_0=\gamma .\) If \(\gamma \) is sufficiently small,
Thus \(\mathop {\textrm{lim}}\nolimits _{i\rightarrow \infty }N_i=N_*\), where
Let \(P_i\rightarrow P_*\), then \(P_*\in C^{\ell ;a}(U\times D_{s/2,r/2}).\) By (4.14) and Cauchy’s estimate we have \(\partial _y P_*=0, \partial _z P_*=0, \partial ^2_{zz} P_*=0\) for \((y, z)=(0,0).\) Thus,
Let \( {\tilde{U}}_*=\{\xi \in {\tilde{U}} \ | \ \omega _*(\xi )\in R_{\alpha }^K\}\). We are going to prove that \( {\tilde{U}}_*\subset {\tilde{U}}_i\) for \(\forall i\ge 0\). Recall that \(2^{i+4}K_i\Xi (K_i)\epsilon _i/r_i^2\le \alpha \). For \(\xi \in {\tilde{U}}_*\) and \(0<|k|\le K_i\),
thus \(\omega _i(\xi )\in R_{\alpha _i}^{K_i}, \ \forall i\ge 0 \) and so \({\tilde{U}}_*\subset {\tilde{U}}_i, \ \forall i\ge 0\).
By (4.17), it follows that
Taking the limit (as \(i\rightarrow \infty \)) in the above equation, we get
where \(N_*\) and \(P_*\) are given in (4.22) and (4.23). Thus, we finish the proof.

Lemma 5.1
Let \(\lambda _1,\lambda _2,\cdots \lambda _{2m}\) be the eigenvalues of matrix \(Q_0\) with \(|\textrm{Re} \lambda _i|\ge \delta _0>0\), for any \(i=1,2,\cdots 2m\). Set \(g(x)\in {\mathcal {A}}\), where \({\mathcal {A}}\) denotes the analytic function space defined on the strip \(T_s\), among which \(T_s=\{x\in {\mathbb {C}}^n/2\pi {\mathbb {Z}}^n: |\textrm{Im}x|_{\infty }\le s \}\). There exists a sufficiently small \(\epsilon _0>0\), such that for \({\hat{Q}}(x)\in {\mathcal {A}}\), if \(||{\hat{Q}}||_{T_s}\le \epsilon _0\), then the equation
has a unique solution \(f(x)\in {\mathcal {A}}\), with
Proof
Let \({\mathcal {L}}{{f}}=\big \langle \omega ,\partial _{x}f(x)\big \rangle -Q_0f(x),\ f \in {\mathcal {A}} \). Then \({\mathcal {L}}:{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {A}}\) is a linear operator. By assumption, the matrix \(Q_0\) is hyperbolic, the operator \({\mathcal {L}}\) has a bounded inverse with \(\Vert {\mathcal {L}}^{-1}\Vert \le \frac{1}{\delta _0}\). By Banach fixed point theorem, it is easy to follow this lemma and we omit the details. \(\square \)
Let \({\bar{\Xi }}\) be an approximation function satisfying (2.2) and (2.3). Let
Define
where the infimum is taken for sequences \(\{\sigma _j\}\) satisfying
We first state a lemma which is proved in [17]. We also refer it to [18].
Lemma 5.2
(Lemma A.1 [17]) For all \(\sigma >0\), the function \({\bar{\Delta }}(\sigma )\) is finite. More precisely, if
then
Let \(\Xi \) be an approximation function satisfying (2.2) and (2.3). Let \(\ell \ge 0\) and
Define
where the infimum is taken for sequences \(\{\sigma _j\}\) satisfying
Since \(\Xi \) is an approximation function, it is easy to check that \((1+t)^{\ell +2}\Xi ^{\ell +2}(t)\) is also an approximation function. By Lemma 5.2 with \({\bar{\Xi }}(t)=(1+t)^{\ell +2}\Xi ^{\ell +2}(t), \) it follows that for all \(\sigma >0\), \(\Delta (\sigma )\) is finite.
Lemma 5.3
The supremum in the definition of \(\Gamma (\sigma )\) can be attained. Moreover, the infimum in the definition of \(\Delta (\sigma )\) can also be attained. More precisely, for any \(\sigma >0\), there exists a sequence \(\sigma _0^*\ge \sigma _1^*\ge \sigma _2^*\ge \cdots >0\) such that \(\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^{\infty }\sigma _i^*=\sigma \) and
Proof
This lemma is actually proved in [17, 18]. However, because of small divisor conditions, our definitions of \(\Gamma \) and \(\Delta \) are different. For the convenience of readers, we give the proof, but the idea is the same as in [17, 18].
At first, by assumption (2.2) we have \(\frac{{\textrm{log}}(\Xi (t))}{t}\rightarrow 0, \ 0\le t\rightarrow \infty \). Then it is easy to see that the supremum \(\Gamma (\sigma )=\sup \nolimits _{t\ge 0}(1+t)^{\ell +2}\Xi ^{\ell +2}(t)e^{-\sigma t}\) is attained and finite.
Note that
Let
where
We consider \(f({{\tilde{\sigma }}})\) as a functional on \( l^1\).
Note that the weakly convergence in \(l^1\) implies the pointwise convergence. Then \(f({{\tilde{\sigma }}})\) is weakly lower semi-continuous on the set:
In fact, let \({{\tilde{\sigma }}}_k\rightharpoonup {{\tilde{\sigma }}}\), that is,
Moreover,
thus,
Then
Also note that if \(\sigma _j\rightarrow 0\), we have \(f({{\tilde{\sigma }}})\rightarrow +\infty .\) And A is a bounded set of \(l^1\). Then the infimum \(\inf _{{{\tilde{\sigma }}}\in A}f({{\tilde{\sigma }}})\) can be attained. Thus, there exists a sequence \(\sigma _0^*\ge \sigma _1^*\ge \sigma _2^*\ge \cdots >0\) such that \(\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^{\infty }\sigma _i^*\le \sigma \) and
where \({{\tilde{\sigma }}}_*=(\sigma _0^*, \sigma _1^*, \sigma _2^*, \cdots ).\) Now we can prove \(\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^{\infty }\sigma _i^*=\sigma \) by contradiction. If not so, that is, \(\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^{\infty }\sigma _i^*<\sigma ,\) then there exists a sequence \(\{\sigma _i'\}\) such that \(\sigma _i^*<\sigma _i', \ \forall i\ge 0\), and \(\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^{\infty }\sigma _i'=\sigma .\) Obviously, \(f({{\tilde{\sigma }}}')<f({{\tilde{\sigma }}}_*)\), which is a contradiction. Thus, \(\sum \nolimits _{i=0}^{\infty }\sigma _i^*=\sigma \).
In addition, the infimum is not only attainable, but also finite. This conclusion can follow from Lemma 5.2. \(\square \)
If the approximation function \(\Xi (t)\) is absolutely continuous and for almost every \(t\ge 0\), assume that
then \(\Xi (t)\) is called a sufficiently increasing function. Without saying it directly, we assume that all approximation functions in this paper are sufficiently increasing.
Lemma 5.4
If the approximation function \(\Xi (t)\) is sufficiently increasing, then it follows
where \(\Gamma _{\ell +1}(\sigma )=\sup \limits _{t\ge 0}(1+t)^{\ell +1}\Xi ^{\ell +1}(t)e^{-\sigma t}\).
Proof
Assume that the approximation function \(\Xi (t)\) is sufficiently increasing, if \(\sigma (1+t)\le 2({\ell +1})\), we can get
then \((1+t)^{\ell +1}\Xi ^{\ell +1}(t) e^{-\sigma t}\) can get the supremum at some point \(t_*\) and the inequality \(\sigma (1+t_*)\ge 2({\ell +1})\) holds true. Thus, it follows
The conclusion is proven. \(\square \)
