Abstract

The last two decades have witnessed a great development and progress in the understanding of the non-linear dynamics of classical Hamiltonian systems [1]. The continuous improvements in computer technology, making possible intensive numerical experiments, and the power of the KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) theorem to analyze these data [2] have played an important role in this development.
