%0 Journal Article %T Continuous averaging proof of the Nekhoroshev theorem %A Jinxin Xue %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X In this paper we develop the continuous averaging method of Treschev to work on the simultaneous Diophantine approximation and apply the result to give a new proof of the Nekhoroshev theorem. We obtain a sharp normal form theorem and an explicit estimate of the stability constants appearing in the Nekhoroshev theorem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.3884v1
