Normal forms for three-parametric families of area-preserving maps near an elliptic fixed point

We study dynamics of area-preserving maps in a neighbourhood of an elliptic fixed point. We describe simplified normal forms for a fixed point of co-dimension 3. We also construct normal forms for a generic three-parameter family which contains such degeneracy and use the normal form theory to describe generic bifurcations of periodic orbits in these families.

Simplified normal forms near a degenerate elliptic fixed point in two-parametric families of area-preserving maps

We derive simplified normal forms for an area-preserving map in a neighbourhood of a degenerate resonant elliptic fixed point. Such fixed points appear in generic two-parameter families of area-preserving maps. We also derive a simplified normal form for a generic two-parametric unfolding. The normal forms are used to analyse bifurcations of $n$-periodic orbits. In particular, for $n\ge6$ we find regions of parameters where the normal form has "meandering'' invariant curves.
