Hamiltonian dynamical systems and applications : [proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems and Applications, Montreal, Canada, 18-29 June 2007]

This volume is the collected and extended notes from the lectures on Hamiltonian dynamical systems and their applications that were given at the NATO Advanced Study Institute in Montreal in 2007. Many aspects of the modern theory of the subject were covered at this event, including low dimensional problems. Applications are also presented to several important areas of research, including problems in classical mechanics, continuum mechanics, and partial differential equations.
