Resumen de Global Effect of Non-Conservative Perturbations on Homoclinic Orbits

Marian Gidea, Rafael de la Llave Canosa , Maxwell Musser

• We study the effect of time-dependent, non-conservative perturbations on the dynamics along homoclinic orbits to a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold. We assume that the unperturbed system is Hamiltonian, and the normally hyperbolic invariant manifold is parametrized via action-angle coordinates. The homoclinic excursions can be described via the scattering map, which gives the future asymptotic of an orbit as a function of its past asymptotic. We provide explicit formulas, in terms of convergent integrals, for the perturbed scattering map expressed in action-angle coordinates. We illustrate these formulas for perturbations of both uncoupled and coupled rotator-pendulum systems.
