Abstract

In this paper, we study time-periodic perturbation of classical systems with two degrees of freedom. A transition chain is established, by passing through small neighborhood of double resonant point, to connect any two cohomology classes corresponding to resonant frequencies. Applying the result to nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems with three degrees of freedom, one obtains a transition chain along which one is able to construct diffusion orbits suggested by V. I. Arnold in [A66].
