Sharp Nekhoroshev estimates for the three-body problem around periodic orbits (Q2286693)

The authors construct a local Nekhoroshev result of stability with sharp constants for the planar three-body problem in the planetary and in the restricted circular case, using the periodic averaging technique. Their constructions can be generalized to any near-integrable Hamiltonian system, whose unperturbed Hamiltonian is quasi-convex, and the dependence of the constants on the analyticity widths of the convex Hamiltonian, is taken into account. A deep analytical theory of the limits of such techniques has been done, for insuring Nekhoroshev stability for high magnitudes of the perturbation, and suggests hints on how to overcome such obstructions in some cases. Finally, two examples with concrete values are considered, one the planetary case (Jupiter and Saturn case) with 5:2 resonance, and one for the restricted circular case with 3:1 resonance, and for initial conditions to be those of asteroid cases with comparisons to other previous works.
