PROOF OF MOSER'S INVARIANT CURVE THEOREM IN THE ANALYTIC CASE,
Abstract
In this report a theorem is proved establishing the existence of curves with analytic representation which are invariant under a certain analytic area preserving mapping. The mapping is a perturbation of a rotation or twist mapping and arises naturally in some undamped physical motions. This theorem modifies an invariant curve theorem proved by J. Moser to guarantee that there are 'analytic' curves invariant under the mapping and is an application of a technique for overcoming small divisors which was introduced by Kolmogorov in the study of perturbations of integrable Hamiltonian systems.
