Stability of some periodic configurations of discrete Lagrangian equations

We consider a class of periodic solutions of second order difference equations with symplectic structure. We obtain an explicit condition for their stability in terms of the 4-jet of the generating function. This result is applied to the discrete Newton equation, the model of a bouncing ball and the...

Sumario:We consider a class of periodic solutions of second order difference equations with symplectic structure. We obtain an explicit condition for their stability in terms of the 4-jet of the generating function. This result is applied to the discrete Newton equation, the model of a bouncing ball and the Fermi–Ulam ping-pong model.
