Furthermore, using the Numerical Analysis of the Fundamental Frequency of Laskar, we investigate numerically the break down of invariant curves as $T$ increases and we give a quantitative estimate of the efficiency of the mixing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-03-01T11:59:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34C29", "76M99", "65T99" ], "keywords": [ "frequency map analysis", "simple model", "mixing efficiency", "quantitative study", "analytical results" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2006, "month": "Jan", "volume": 39, "number": 2, "pages": 299 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006JPhA...39..299C" } } }
