ON THE EXISTENCE OF KAM TORI FOR PRESYMPLECTIC VECTOR FIELDS
(2016-05)
We prove the existence of a torus that is invariant with respect to the flow of a presymplectic vector field found in a family of presymplectic vector fields. Moreover, the flow on this invariant torus is conjugate to a ...

(2016)
Exposed sediment profiles of the panhandle of western Oklahoma have
previously been shown to contain two peak abundances of nanodiamonds, one dated
approximately to the Younger Dryas and the other from the Late Holocene. ...
