Exponential stability for time dependent potentials

From MaRDI portal





Let us consider the time dependent Hamiltonian \(H(x,y,t)=| y|^ 2/2+V(x,t)\) with \(x\in\mathbb{T}^ n\), \(y\in\mathbb{R}^ n\), \(t\in\mathbb{R}\). The flow \((x(t),y(t))\) of the corresponding Hamiltonian system is generally very chaotic and the component \(y(t)\) is unbounded. In the particular case \(n=1\) and assuming that the potential \(V\) is smooth and periodic in time (or quasiperiodic in time with some diophantine conditions on the frequencies) then it has been proved that the component \(y(t)\) is bounded. Such a result is false in dimension \(n>1\) and for quasiperiodic potentials. It is proved in this paper that assuming that the potential has a bounded analytic extension to a strip (both in \(x\) and \(t)\) then the solution \(y(t)\) remains in a ball of center \(y(0)\) and radius \(r\) for \(| t|\leq T\) where \(T\) can be explicitly computed and is an exponential function of \(r\). This result applies to real analytic, time quasiperiodic potentials without diophantine conditions.
