Summary. We deal with a perturbation of a hyperbolic integrable Hamiltonian system with n+1 degrees of freedom. The integrable system is assumed to have n -dimensional hyperbolic invariant tori with coincident whiskers (separatrices). Following Eliasson, we use a geometric approach closely related to the Lagrangian properties of the whiskers, to show that the splitting distance between the perturbed stable and unstable whiskers is the gradient of a periodic scalar function of n phases, which we call splitting potential. This geometric approach works for both the singular (or weakly hyperbolic) case and the regular (or strongly hyperbolic) case, and provides the existence of at least n+1 homoclinic intersections between the perturbed whiskers. In the regular case, we also obtain a first-order approximation for the splitting potential, that we call Melnikov potential. Its gradient, the (vector) Melnikov function, provides a first-order approximation for the splitting distance. Then the nondegenerate critical points of the Melnikov potential give rise to transverse homoclinic intersections between the whiskers. Generically, when the Melnikov potential is a Morse function, there exist at least 2n critical points. The first-order approximation relies on the n -dimensional Poincaré-Melnikov method, to which an important part of the paper is devoted. We develop the method in a general setting, giving the Melnikov potential and the Melnikov function in terms of absolutely convergent integrals, which take into account the phase drift along the separatrix and the first-order deformation of the perturbed hyperbolic tori. We provide formulas useful in several cases, and carry out explicit computations that show that the Melnikov potential is a Morse function, in different kinds of examples.

We consider a perturbation of an integrable Hamiltonian system which possesses invariant tori with coincident whiskers (like some rotators and a pendulum). Our goal is to measure the splitting distance between the perturbed whiskers, putting emphasis on the detection of their intersections, which give rise to homoclinic orbits to the perturbed tori. A geometric method is presented which takes into account the Lagrangian properties of the whiskers. In this way, the splitting distance is the gradient of a splitting potential. In the regular case (also known as a priori-unstable: The Lyapunov exponents of the whiskered tori remain fixed), the splitting potential is well-approximated by a Melnikov potential. This method is designed as a first step in the study of the singular case (also known as a priori-stable: The Lyapunov exponents of the whiskered tori approach to zero when the perturbation tends to zero).

We consider a perturbation of an integrable Hamiltonian system having an equilibrium point of elliptic-hyperbolic type, having a homoclinic orbit. More precisely, we consider an (n + 2)-degree-of-freedom near integrable Hamiltonian with n centers and 2 saddles, and assume that the homoclinic orbit is preserved under the perturbation. On the center manifold near the equilibrium, there is a Cantorian family of hyperbolic KAM tori, and we study the homoclinic intersections between the stable and unstable manifolds associated to such tori. We establish that, in general, the manifolds intersect along transverse homoclinic orbits. In a more concrete model, such homoclinic orbits can be detected, in a first approximation, from nondegenerate critical points of a Mel’nikov potential. We provide bounds for the number of transverse homoclinic orbits using that, in general, the potential will be a Morse function (which gives a lower bound) and can be approximated by a trigonometric polynomial (which gives an upper bound).

We consider a perturbation of an integrable Hamiltonian system possessing hyper bolic invariant tori with coincident whiskers Following an idea due to Eliasson we introduce a splitting potential whose gradient gives the splitting distance between the perturbed stable and unstable whiskers The homoclinic orbits to the perturbed whiskered tori are the critical points of the splitting potential and therefore their existence is ensured in both the regular or strongly hyperbolic or a priori unsta ble and the singular or weakly hyperbolic or a priori stable case The singular case is a model of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian near a single resonance In the regular case the Melnikov potential is a rst order approximation of the splitting potential and the standard Melnikov vector function is simply the gradient of the Melnikov potential Non degenerate critical points of the Melnikov potential give rise to transverse homoclinic orbits Explicit computations are carried out for some examples

We study the exponentially small splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered (hyperbolic) tori with two fast frequencies in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems whose hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum. We consider a torus whose frequency ratio is the silver number Ω = √2 − 1. We show that the Poincaré-Melnikov method can be applied to establish the existence of 4 transverse homoclinic orbits to the whiskered torus, and provide asymptotic estimates for the transversality of the splitting whose dependence on the perturbation parameter ɛ satisfies a periodicity property. We also prove the continuation of the transversality of the homoclinic orbits for all the sufficiently small values of ɛ, generalizing the results previously known for the golden number.
