Global description of the solutions of a large class of non-integrable Hamiltonians (Q1205270)

The authors study the qualitative classification of orbits for a particle moving in the plane under the action of anisotropic central potential field. The Hamiltonian under consideration is of the kind \[ H(r,\vartheta,p_ r,p_ \vartheta)=\textstyle{{1\over 2}}((p_ r)^ 2+(p_ \vartheta/r)^ 2)+fV, \] where \(f=f(r)\in\mathbb{C}^ 2(\mathbb{R}_ +)\) satisfies \(r^ \alpha f\to 1\), \((r^{\alpha+1}f')'\to 0\), \((r^ \alpha f)'\to 0\), \(\alpha f+rf'\to 0\) as \(r\to 0\), and \(V=V(\vartheta)=- (\mu\cos^ 2\vartheta+\sin^ 2\vartheta)^{-\alpha/2}\) \((2<\alpha<\infty\), \(1<\mu<\infty\) are constants). The McGehee's substitution \[ v=r^{\alpha/2}p_ r,\;u=r^{(\alpha-2)/2}p_ \vartheta,\;dt/d\tau=r^{\alpha/2+1} \] extending the Hamiltonian system to the value \(r=0\) is used. Owing to Ziglin's criterium, certain non- integrable Hamiltonians are included.
