Description

This text grew out of notes from a graduate course taught to students in mathematics and mechanical engineering. The goal was to take students who had some basic knowledge of differential equations and lead them through a systematic grounding in the theory of Hamiltonian systems, an introduction to the theory of integrals and reduction. PoincarA(c)a (TM)s continuation of periodic solution, normal forms, and applications of KAM theory. There is a special chapter devoted to the theory of twist maps and various extensions of the classic PoincarA(c)-Birkhoff fixed point theorem.

Description

This book gives a systematic grounding in the theory of Hamiltonian differential equations from a dynamical systems point of view. It develops a solid foundation for students to read some of the current research on Hamiltonian systems. Topics covered include a detailed discussion of linear Hamiltonian systems, an introduction to the theory of integrals and reduction, Poincare's continuation of periodic solution, normal forms and applications of KAM theory. A chapter is devoted to the theory of twist maps and various extensions of the classic Poincare-Birkhoff fixed point theorem.
