-{{gtspring2009:​pc.jpg}} If you want to move it to the end of ???, it is OK with me.+{{gtspring2009:​pc.jpg}} If you want to move it to the end of [[chaosbook:​newton|chapter "​Hamiltonian dynamics"​]], it is OK with me. I would place it ahead of Section 7.4 "​Poincaré invariants,"​ which is of narrower interest. Originally it was there, but it did not make sense without defining smooth coordinate transformations first. If you harmonize it with this chapter, might work well. BTW, almost any cojugacy is singular somewhere. For example, if you try to flatten out a neighborhood of a fixed or periodic point, the conjugacy has at best a finite radius of convergence. ​  --- //​[[predrag.cvitanovic@physics.gatech.edu|Predrag Cvitanovic]] 2009-03-29//​
  
-;-) While I see the idea behind trying to match KS regularization with smooth conjugacy, I am not sure it works well. Collinear ​Helium ​is singular (and you want smooth flows to start with), the transformation involves time (which is a new concept at that point), and one of the main points of the KS transformation is that the combination of time and space transformation keeps everything Hamiltonian (a point which comes too early here).
