Popis: We consider a Hamiltonian system depending on a parameter which slowly changes with rate e ≪ 1. If trajectories of the frozen autonomous system are periodic, then the system has adiabatic invariant which changes much slower than energy. For a system with 1 degree of freedom and a figure 8 separatrix, Anatoly Neishtadt [18] showed that for trajectories crossing the separatrix, the adiabatic invariant, and hence the energy, have quasirandom jumps of order e. We prove a partial analog of Neishtadt’s result for a system with n degrees of freedom such that the frozen system has a hyperbolic equilibrium possessing several homoclinic orbits. We construct trajectories staying near the homoclinic set with energy having jumps of order e at time intervals of order ∣ln e∣, so the energy may grow with rate e/∣ln e∣. Away from the homoclinic set faster energy growth is possible: if the frozen system has chaotic behavior, Gelfreich and Turaev [16] constructed trajectories with energy growth rate of order e.
