On the existence of invariant tori in nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems with finitely differentiable perturbations

Abstract

We prove the existence of invariant tori in Hamiltonian systems, which are analytic and integrable except a 2n-times continuously differentiable perturbation (n denotes the number of the degrees of freedom), provided that the moduli of continuity of the 2n-th partial derivatives of the perturbation satisfy a condition of finiteness (condition on an integral), which is more general than a Holder condition. So far the existence of invariant tori could be proven only under the condition that the 2n-th partial derivatives of the perturbation are Holder continuous.
