Action-minimizing Methods in Hamiltonian Dynamics : An Introduction to Aubry-Mather Theory

Omtale

John Mather's seminal works in Hamiltonian dynamics represent some of the most important contributions to our understanding of the complex balance between stable and unstable motions in classical mechanics. His novel approach--known as Aubry-Mather theory--singles out the existence of special orbits and invariant measures of the system, which posse
