Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the constructivity of the method originally introduced by U. Bessi to approach the phenomenon of topological instability commonly known as Arnold’s Diffusion. By adapting results and proofs from existing works and introducing additional tools where necessary, it is shown how, at least for a (well known) paradigmatic model, it is possible to obtain a rigorous proof on a suitable discrete space, which can be fully implemented on a computer. A selection of explicitly constructed diffusing trajectories for the system at hand is presented in the final section.
期刊介绍:
Physica D (Nonlinear Phenomena) publishes research and review articles reporting on experimental and theoretical works, techniques and ideas that advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena. Topics encompass wave motion in physical, chemical and biological systems; physical or biological phenomena governed by nonlinear field equations, including hydrodynamics and turbulence; pattern formation and cooperative phenomena; instability, bifurcations, chaos, and space-time disorder; integrable/Hamiltonian systems; asymptotic analysis and, more generally, mathematical methods for nonlinear systems.
