Abstract
We derive the simplest version of the finite-order Birkhoff normal forms [BNFs], that for area-preserving maps of the plane,
using the finite-dimensional representation theory for the group of linear area-preserving maps of that plane and of its circle subgroup. We describe our motivation: the utility of understanding the 3rd-order BNF to obtain KAM stability for non-trivial
periodic orbits which arise in celestial mechanics.
期刊介绍:
Regular and Chaotic Dynamics (RCD) is an international journal publishing original research papers in dynamical systems theory and its applications. Rooted in the Moscow school of mathematics and mechanics, the journal successfully combines classical problems, modern mathematical techniques and breakthroughs in the field. Regular and Chaotic Dynamics welcomes papers that establish original results, characterized by rigorous mathematical settings and proofs, and that also address practical problems. In addition to research papers, the journal publishes review articles, historical and polemical essays, and translations of works by influential scientists of past centuries, previously unavailable in English. Along with regular issues, RCD also publishes special issues devoted to particular topics and events in the world of dynamical systems.
