Description

This book is an extended version of lectures given by the ?rst author in 1995-1996 at the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University.

We believe that a major part of the book can be regarded as an additional material to the standard course of Hamiltonian mechanics.

In comparison with the original Russian 1 version we have included new material, simpli?ed some proofs and corrected m- prints.

Hamiltonian equations ?rst appeared in connection with problems of geometric optics and celestial mechanics.

Later it became clear that these equations describe a large classof systemsin classical mechanics,physics,chemistry,and otherdomains.

Hamiltonian systems and their discrete analogs play a basic role in such problems as rigid body dynamics, geodesics on Riemann surfaces, quasi-classic approximation in quantum mechanics, cosmological models, dynamics of particles in an accel- ator, billiards and other systems with elastic re?ections, many in?nite-dimensional models in mathematical physics, etc.

In this book we study Hamiltonian systems assuming that they depend on some parameter (usually?), where for?= 0 the dynamics is in a sense simple (as a rule, integrable).

Frequently such a parameter appears naturally. For example, in celestial mechanics it is accepted to take? equal to the ratio: the mass of Jupiter over the mass of the Sun.

In other cases it is possible to introduce the small parameter ar- ?cially.
