Schwartzman Asymptotic Cycle and Dynamics --Bibliography --IndexJohn Mather's seminal works in Hamiltonian dynamics represent some of the most important contributions to our understanding of the complex balance between stable and unstable motions in classical mechanics. His novel approach-known as Aubry-Mather theory-singles out the existence of special orbits and invariant measures of the system, which possess a very rich dynamical and geometric structure. In particular, the associated invariant sets play a leading role in determining the global dynamics of the system. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Mather's theory, and can serve as an interdisciplinary bridge for researchers and students from different fields seeking to acquaint themselves with the topic.Starting with the mathematical background from which Mather's theory was born, Alfonso Sorrentino first focuses on the core questions the theory aims to answer-notably the destiny of broken invariant KAM tori and the onset of chaos-and describes how it can be viewed as a natural counterpart of KAM theory. He achieves this by guiding readers through a detailed illustrative example, which also provides the basis for introducing the main ideas and concepts of the general theory. Sorrentino then describes the whole theory and its subsequent developments and applications in their full generality.Shedding new light on John Mather's revolutionary ideas, this book is certain to become a foundational text in the modern study of Hamiltonian systems.Mathematical notes (Princeton University Press) ;50.Hamiltonian systemsHamilton-Jacobi equationsAlbert Fathi.Aubry set.AubryЍather theory.Hamiltonian dynamics.Hamiltonians.HamiltonЊacobi equation.John Mather.KAM theory.KAM tori.Lagrangian dynamics.MAK tori.Ma set.Ma's critical value.Ma's potential.Maher sets.Peierls' barrier.Tonelli Lagrangians.action-minimizing measure.action-minimizing orbits.chaos.classical mechanics.compact manifold.differentiability.invariant Lagrangian graphs.invariant probability measures.invariant sets.orbits.pendulum.stable motion.strict convexity.unstable motion.Hamiltonian systems.Hamilton-Jacobi equations.514.74Sorrentino Alfonso1685268MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812171703321Action-minimizing methods in Hamiltonian dynamics4057274UNINA
