Author’s introduction, excerpted and paraphrased: This is an introduction to the theory of Kolmogorov-Arnol’d-Moser concerning quasiperiodic orbits in dynamical systems and their perturbations. Above all we treat the theorem of Kolmogorov-Arnol’d-Moser about Hamiltonian systems – the theorem of invariant tori, i.e. a Hamiltonian system close to a completely integrable system has many invariant Lagrangian tori. A corollary is that a generic Hamiltonian system is not ergodic.
First, we survey Kolmogorov-Arnol’d-Moser theory. Next, we establish an implicit function theorem (following R. S. Hamilton) in Fréchet space of \(C^{\infty}\) functions. Finally we use this theorem to prove (following Herman) a version of the theorem of invariant tori.
