Advanced Hamiltonian Dynamics and Arnold Diffusion: Series in Contemporary Mathematics, cartea 8

Chongqing Cheng is a professor at Nanjing University. He has been engaged in the research of dynamical systems for many years. His main research interest is Hamiltonian dynamical systems, including dynamical instability, variational construction of connecting orbits, Arnold diffusion, KAM theory and weak KAM theory. He was an invited speaker at ICM 2010 Hyderabad. Jinxin Xue is a professor at Tsinghua University. His field of research is dynamical systems and his primary interests are to find various special orbits in dynamical systems. Prof. Xue solved the Painleve conjecture and the Arnold diffusion conjecture (jointly with C-Q. Cheng) in the smooth category for convex systems. Besides Hamiltonian dynamics, he also works on fields including hyperbolic dynamics, group actions, symplectic topology, mean curvature flow, etc.
