Many coexisting attractors, a case study of the almost-conservative Hénon map

For dynamical systems in the plane, there can be many periodic attractors coexisting in a bounded region. They become easier to find in systems with small dissipation, which we call ``almost-conservative''. We ask what happens when there are many periodic attractors. That is the vague question we start with. For a test study, we chose the Hénon map with a tiny dissipation. We tuned the other parameter to yield a case with 50 attracting periodic orbits. They have a total of 4259 periodic points. We describe how these orbits can be organized into families. In addition to two low-period orbits, the remaining 48 orbits can be classified into three families, which we describe in detail.

On the analytic properties of the perturbing function in the PCR3Body Problem

We provide a new expansion of the Fourier coefficient of the Perturbing function of the PCR3Body problem in terms of Hansen Coefficients. This gives us a precise asymptotic formula for the coefficient in the region of application of KAM theory (i.e small value of eccentricity and semi-major axis see e.g. \cite{Celletti-Chierchia}). Moreover, in the above region, we study the presence of zeros of the Fourier coefficient for coprime modes $(m,k) \in \Z^2$ and the presence of common zeros between coefficients relative to modes $(m,k)$,$(2m,2k)$ and $(m,k)$,$(2m,2k)$,$(3m,3k)$. Thanks to the previous expansion, this numerical analysis is done up to order $60$ in the power of eccentricity and semimajor axis. This is a first step for a possible application of \cite{Singular KAM, BBCZ} to PCR3Body Problem that would imply a reduction in terms of measure in the phase space of the so called "non--torus" set from $O(1-\sqrt{\e})$ (implied by standard KAM theory) to $O(1-\e |\log\e|^c )$ for some $c>0$.
