Abstract

A two-parameter family of smooth Hamiltonian systems perturbed by a piecewise linear force is analyzed. The systems are represented both as maps and as dynamical systems. Currently available analytical and numerical results concerning the onset of chaos and global diffusion in such systems are reviewed. Dynamical behavior that has no analogs in the class of systems with analytic Hamiltonians is described. A comparison with the well-studied dynamics of a driven pendulum is presented, and essential differences in dynamics between smooth and analytic systems are highlighted.
