Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Symmetry and resonance in hamiltonian systems" ?
This degeneration forces us to extend the normalization. This makes sense since the authors know that for instance the 1: 2 resonance can be viewed as 2: 4 resonance or 3: 6 resonance etc. For symmetric potential problems in 1: 2 resonance, the authors have shown that at a certain critical value of the energy, localized in phase-space at some distance of equilibrium, the system behaves like a strong resonance while for other values of the energy it produces higher order resonance.
Q3. What is the general, mathematically generic case of the resonance?
In the general, mathematically generic case, lower order resonance corresponds with strong interaction between the modes while higher order resonance corresponds with weak interaction.
Q4. what is the condition for existence of the resonance manifold in lemma 4.2?
The condition for existence of the resonance manifold in exact resonance in lemma 4.2 reduces to5 3 a21 + 1 2 a1a2 + 1 15 a222a1a2 + 1360 a22 < 0:Assuming a2 6= 0 to avoid decoupling, the authors introduce the parameter = a1=3a2.
Q5. What is the prominent resonance in the elastic pendulum?
The conclusion is that, after the rst-order 2 : 1-resonance, the 4 : 1-resonance is the most prominent resonance in the elastic pendulum.
Q6. What is the symmetry assumption for symmetric potential problems?
For symmetric potential problems in 1 : 2 resonance, the authors have shown that at a certain critical value of the energy, localized in phase-space at some distance of equilibrium, the system behaves like a strong resonance while for other values of the energy it produces higher order resonance.
Q7. What is the hamiltonian formula for the spring?
Consider a spring with spring constant s and length l , a mass m is attached to the spring; g is the gravitational constant and l is the length of the spring under load in the vertical position.
Q8. What is the equation for the q-q cycle?
The heteroclinic cycles are given by the equation P(q; p; ") = Cs" and the intersection with the line p = q is given by solving P(q; q; ") = Cs" .
Q9. What is the result of the detuning of the resonance manifold?
With the condition 2 = 4 1, equations (13) become_ 1 = 0 +O("3) _ 2 = 0 +O("3) _ = "2 (2 1E0 2 1) +O("3):(17)System (17) immediately yields that at exact resonance there will be no resonance manifold.
Q10. what is the phase-shift in the resonance manifold?
The phase-shift will not a ect the location of the resonance manifold, it will only rotate it with respect to the origin but it will a ect the location of the periodic solutions in the resonance manifold.
Q11. What are the xed points in the contour plot?
In the contour plot, these short periodic orbits appear as 2m xed points (excluding the origin) which are saddles and centers corresponding to the unstable and stable periodic orbit.
Q12. What is the hamiltonian with a potential?
The hamiltonian with a potential, discrete symmetric in the second degree of freedom becomesH = 12 ( _q21 + _q 2 2) +1 2 (q21 + ! 2q22)"(1 3 a1q 3 1 + a2q1q 2 2) "2( 1 4 b1q 4 1 + 1 2 b2q 2 1q 2 2 + 1 4 b3q 4 2):(8)Assume !2 = 4(1 + (")).
Q13. What is the simplest way to classify the resonances?
Based on the lowest degree of the expanded hamiltonian function where resonant terms are found, one can classify the resonances into three classes, i.e. rst order, second order and higher order resonance.
Q14. What is the condition for existence of the resonance manifold in the contopoulos problem?
Note that for the Contopoulos problem (a1 = 0) the resonance manifold does not exist at exact resonance while in the original H enon-Heiles problem (a1 = 1 and a2 = 1) the resonance manifold exists.
Q15. What are the domains of existence of the resonance manifold?
The domainII and the unbounded domain The authorand III (both bounded by the parabola and the straight line) correspond with existence of the resonance manifold.
Q16. What is the normal form of the hamiltonian in the 1 : 2-re?
The normal form of the hamiltonian in the 1 : 2-resonance with discrete symmetry in the second degree of freedom isH(x1; y1; x2; y2) = i [ 1 + 2 2] + " 2 A1 2 1 +A2 1 2 +A3 2 2 +"4 B1 3 1 +B2 2 1 2 +B3 1 2 2 +B4 3 2 + "4[Dx41y 2 2 +Dy 4 1x 2 2] + :(4)The constants D and D are complex conjugate.
