| | Stable and Random Motions in Dynamical Systems |
 | | This was stunningly disproved in a theorem announced by Kolmogorov in 1954, proved for analytic flows by Arnold, and for sufficiently smooth maps by Moser in the early 1960ies. |
 | | In particular, Moser gave the first complete and accessible account of the Smale-Birkhoff homoclinic theorem and a fully-worked example provided by solutions to the restricted three-body problem. |
 | | Jürgen Moser, who died in 1999, was one of the leading mathematicians of the twenties century, whose deep and important contributions range over many different fields such as dynamical systems and celestial mechanics, partial differential equations, nonlinear functional analysis, complex geometry, and the calculus of variations. |
