Abstract
We study the accuracy of the conservation of adiabatic invariants in a model of n weakly coupled rotators. Most attention is devoted to n = 2 and frequency ω = ( ω 1, ω 2), with ω 2 ω 1 quadratic irrational. We apply a heuristic approximation scheme, going back to Jeans and to Landau and Teller, and perform a very accurate numerical check of the result, observing a quite remarkable agreement.
