Is there a Connection between Local and Global (In-)Stability?
Keyword(s):
We review two criteria which have been used to predict the onset of large scale stochasticity in Hamiltonian systems. We show that one of them, due to Toda and based on a local stability analysis of the equations of motion, is inconclusive. An approach based on the local Riemannian curvature K of trajectories correctly predicts chaos if K < 0 everywhere, but�no further conclusions can be drawn. New (counter-)examples are provided.
