TLDR
The main ideas of the proof of the exponential estimate were discussed in this paper, including steepness conditions and forbidden motions of the discs of fast drift on the steepness of the unperturbed Hamiltonian.

On the problem of stability for higher-order derivative Lagrangian systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the stability of dynamical systems whose Lagrangian function depends on derivatives of a higher order than one, and showed that the indefiniteness of the energy does not forbid the stability.

The production of Tsallis entropy in the limit of weak chaos and a new indicator of chaoticity

TL;DR: In this article, the average power law exponent (APLE) was proposed to distinguish regular from weakly chaotic trajectories, and applied to a wide range of properties of the Tsallis q-entropy.

Trends in 20th century Celestial Mechanics.

TL;DR: A review of the major achievements of celestial mechanics in the twentieth century, and some unsolved problems that are left to the twenty-first century can be found in this article, where four major research fields in celestial mechanics are treated: dynamical systems, three-body problems, solar system dynamics, and numerical methods.

Beyond all orders: Singular perturbations in a mapping

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a family of q-dimensional volume-preserving maps depending on a small parametere and show that for smalle the heteroclinic connection breaks up and that the splitting between its components scales with γexp[ −β/e.
