A KAM theorem for lower dimensional elliptic invariant tori of nearly integrable symplectic mappings (Q2397018)

The author proves a new KAM theorem for a class of low-dimensional elliptic invariant tori of nearly integrable symplectic mappings with generating functions but without assuming any nondegenerate condition. The most important idea in this paper is to separate the nondegenerate conditions from the KAM iteration, which was introduced in [\textit{J. Xu} and \textit{X. Lu}, Regul. Chaotic Dyn. 21, No. 1, 107--125 (2016; Zbl 1344.37070)]. By means of the KAM method, the author proves the persistence of the invariant tori under some conditions. Although no nondegenerate condition is assumed in the main theorem, this is necessary in the applications.
