We consider families of one and a half degrees of freedom Hamiltonians with high frequency periodic dependence on time, which are perturbations of an autonomous system. We suppose that the origin is a parabolic fixed point with non-diagonalizable linear part and that the unperturbed system has a homoclinic connection associated to it. We provide a set of hypotheses under which the splitting is exponentially small and is given by the Poincare-Melnikov function.

Aims to introduce the reader to various forms of the maximum principle, starting from its classical formulation up to generalizations of the Omori-Yau maximum principle at infinity obtained by the authors.

Shows that at the cost of replacing $V DEGREES3$ by $V_h DEGREES3 = \{V DEGREES3$ with very many holes $\}$, we can always find representations $X DEGREES2 \stackrel {f} {\rightarrow} V DEGREES3$ with $X DEGREES2$ locally finite and almost-arborescent, with $\Psi (f)=\Phi (f)$, and with the ope

Studies two types of integral transformation associated with fractional Brownian motion, that are applied to construct approximation schemes for fractional Brownian motion by polygonal approximation of standard Brownian motion. This approximation is the best in the sense that it minimizes the mean square error.
