| Jun 9, 2015 at 9:32 | comment | added | Olga | The proof is contained in Arnold's book Mathematical methods of classical mechanics in the form of the sequence of exercises, part 1, chapter 2, paragraph 8. The idea is to look at circular trajectories and then to say that all trajectories close to them are also close (sorry for my English;)). This is classical perturbation argument. Though, reading a response by Will Heierman, I now see that we have to be accurate. | |
