Gevrey KAM equilibria for quasi-periodic long-range Frenkel-Kontorova models

Abstract

We consider models of one-dimensional chains of non-nearest neighbor and many-body interacting particles subjected to quasi-periodic media. We extend the results in \cite{12Su&delaLlavelongrange} from analytic to Gevrey regularity potentials. More precisely, we establish an a posteriori KAM theorem showing that in the Gevrey topology, given an approximate solution of equilibrium equation, which satisfies some appropriate non-degeneracy conditions and decay property, then there is a true solution nearby and the solution preserves both the quasi-periodicity and Gevrey regularity. The method of proof is based on a combination of quasi-Newton methods and delicate estimates in spaces of Gevrey functions.
