Description and Table of Contents

Description

In this volume, various ideas about Hamiltonian dynamics were discussed. Particular emphasis was placed on mechanical systems with singular potentials (such as the N-Body Newtonian problem) and on their special features, although important aspects of smooth dynamics were also discussed, from both the local point of view and the point of view of global analysis.
