Abstract:

Quasi-periodic motion (QPM) is structurally unstable and a small perturbation cases a transition to qualitatively different states. This problem is investigated by the asymptotic expansion method of Bogoliubov and Mitropolsky. It is shown that the structurally unstable QPM is in a sense “stable”, and has its reality contrary to Ruelle's suggestion.
