TY - JOUR T1 - Fast Arnold diffusion in systems with three time scales JF - Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 8 (2002) 795-811 Y1 - 2002 A1 - Massimiliano Berti A1 - Philippe Bolle AB - We consider the problem of Arnold Diffusion for nearly integrable partially isochronous Hamiltonian systems with three time scales. By means of a careful shadowing analysis, based on a variational technique, we prove that, along special directions, Arnold diffusion takes place with fast (polynomial) speed, even though the \\\"splitting determinant\\\" is exponentially small.
