Small divisors and large multipliers
We study germs of singular holomorphic vector fields at the origin of of which the linear part is 1-resonant and which have a polynomial normal
form. The formal normalizing diffeomorphism is usually divergent at the origin
but there exists holomorphic diffeomorphisms in some "sectorial domains" which
transform these vector fields into their normal form. In this article, we study
the interplay between the small divisors phenomenon and the Gevrey character of
the sectorial normalizing diffeomorphisms. We show that the Gevrey ordrer of
the latter is linked to the diophantine type of the small divisors.Comment: 22 pages, to appear in Annales de l'Institut Fourie
A generalized frequency detuning method for multidegree-of-freedom oscillators with nonlinear stiffness
In this paper, we derive a frequency detuning method for multi-degree-of-freedom oscillators with nonlinear stiffness. This approach includes a matrix of detuning parameters, which are used to model the amplitude dependent variation in resonant frequencies for the system. As a result, we compare three different approximations for modeling the affect of the nonlinear stiffness on the linearized frequency of the system. In each case, the response of the primary resonances can be captured with the same level of accuracy. However, harmonic and subharmonic responses away from the primary response are captured with significant differences in accuracy. The detuning analysis is carried out using a normal form technique, and the analytical results are compared with numerical simulations of the response. Two examples are considered, the second of which is a two degree-of-freedom oscillator with cubic stiffnesses
About Linearization of Infinite-Dimensional Hamiltonian Systems
This article is concerned with analytic Hamiltonian dynamical systems in infinite dimension in a neighborhood of an elliptic fixed point. Given a quadratic Hamiltonian, we consider the set of its analytic higher order perturbations. We first define the subset of elements which are formally symplectically conjugated to a (formal) Birkhoff normal form. We prove that if the quadratic Hamiltonian satisfies a Diophantine-like condition and if such a perturbation is formally symplectically conjugated to the quadratic Hamiltonian, then it is also analytically symplectically conjugated to it. Of course what is an analytic symplectic change of variables depends strongly on the choice of the phase space. Here we work on periodic functions with Gevrey regularity
