Poincaré-Birkhoff's theorem

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The set of Poincaré-Birkhoff (also Poincaré's last sentence or Poincaré Geometric set is called) is a theorem of the symplectic geometry and the theory of dynamical systems on the existence of fixed points for area-preserving mappings. It states that an area-preserving image of a circular ring , which rotates the two edge components in different directions, must have at least two fixed points.

Sometimes a conclusion is also called the Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem. It says that when a dynamic system with invariant tori of rational number of turns is perturbed, an even number of fixed points of the Poincaré map is retained.

One of the higher-dimensional generalizations of the Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem is the Arnold conjecture, proven by means of Floer's homology .

sentence

Be with and be the circular ring

Let a mapping be given in polar coordinates for which holds

  • is true to area,
  • for all ,
  • for everyone .

Then has at least two fixed points.
