Name: ... .

(1) Consider a simple pendulum where the angle θ(t) varies with maximum ±θ0. What is the probability density ρ(θ)?

(2) Consider a general scaling transformation Q = Λq, P = Λ0p

where Λ and Λ0 are real symmetric positive matrices. Show that that transformation is canonical if and only if Λ0 = Λ−1.

(3) Use the method of Hamilton-Jacobi to treat a simple harmonic oscillator in two dimensions.

What is the Hamilton-Jacobi equation here?

Solve it.

Use it to give the positions as functions of time and of the initial conditions.

(4) Prove the Young inequality, that for all α, β ≥ 1, x, p > 0, px ≤ xα

α +pβ

β , 1

α + 1 β = 1

(5) A bead of mass m slides without friction on a circular loop of radius a. The loop lies in a vertical plane and rotates about a vertical diameter with constant angular velocity ω. Gravity acts.

a) For angular velocity ω > ωcgreater than some critical value, the bead can undergo small oscillations about some stable equi- librium point θ0. Find ωc and θ0(ω).

b) Obtain the equations of motion for the small oscillations about θ0 as a function of ω and find the period of these oscilla- tions.

(6) Show that the logistic map x 7→ r x(1 − x) on [0, 1]

has a two-cycle for all r > 3 and discuss its stability.

(7) Consider the motion of a perfectly elastic rigid ball of fixed mass m between two perfectly elastic walls whose separation ` slowly varies. Prove that the product v ` of the product of the speed of the ball and the separation distance is an adiabatic invariant.
