Synopsis

This book gives a systematic grounding in the theory of Hamiltonian differential equations from a dynamical systems point of view. It develops a solid foundation for students to read some of the current research on Hamiltonian systems. Topics covered include a detailed discussion of linear Hamiltonian systems, an introduction to the theory of integrals and reduction, Poincare's continuation of periodic solution, normal forms and applications of KAM theory. A chapter is devoted to the theory of twist maps and various extensions of the classic Poincare-Birkhoff fixed point theorem.
