Asymptotic stability estimates near an equilibrium point (Q526010)

The main result of this paper is Theorem 5.1, which can be stated as follows. Consider the Hamiltonian system \[ \dot x = J \nabla\mathcal H(x), \qquad \mathcal H(x) = \mathbb H(x) + \mathcal K(x), \] with \(\mathbb H(x) = \frac 12 x^T Sx\), \(S\) being a real symmetric matrix, and \(\mathcal K(x)\) having a convergent expansion in \(x\) at the origin. Under suitable action-angle variables transformation and some assumptions on the eigenvalues (Diophantine condition), there exist \(C > 0, K > 0, a > 1\) and \(\rho_0 > 0\) such that for all \(\rho\in (0, \rho_0)\), and for all \(x_0\) with \(|x_0| < \rho\), there holds \[ |x(t,x_0)|< a \rho, \quad 0 \le t \le T = C \rho \exp\left(\frac{K}{\rho^{1/(2(v+1))}}\right), \] where \(v\) is defined in terms on the Diophantine condition.
