To my parents Who taught me the value of understanding To my wife Who makes sure I eat and sleep somewhat regularly And to all my cats Who occasionally inspire mathematical insight Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the support of all who helped make this endeavor possible. I would specifically like to thank my undergraduate thesis adviser Dr. Jeff Rosoff at Gustavus Adolphus College, my " prelim option " adviser Dr. Hans Koch at University of Texas at Austin, all my graduate student cohorts including Nikola Petrov, and my Ph.D. thesis adviser Dr. Rafael de la Llave also at University of Texas at Austin. These individuals have served as teachers, mentors and friends and I am deeply grateful for their help and encouragement. I am also deeply grateful for help and patience of the members of my committee. Finally, on a personal note I would like to thank my parents Andrew and Sally Vano and my wife Jennie Vano for all their love and support over the years. Supervisor: Rafael de la Llave This dissertation establishes the Whitney regularity with respect to parameters of implicit functions obtained from a Nash-Moser implicit function theorem. As an application of this result, we study the problem of wave propagation in resonating cavities. Using a modification of the general setup in [Zeh75], we consider func-(scale parameters are suppressed here for brevity) and C ⊆ U is an arbitrary set of parameters (in applications C is often a Cantor set). Under appropriate hypothesis on F, which are natural extensions of [Zeh75], we show that given (x 0 , y 0) with F(x 0 , y 0) = 0 for x ∈ C near x 0 there exists a function g(x), Whitney regular with respect to x, which satisfies F(x, g(x)) = 0. The problem of wave propagation in a cavity with (quasi-periodically) moving boundary can be reduced to the study of a family of torus maps. Because of their extremely degenerate nature, this family is not covered by known versions of KAM theory. However, our implicit function theorem approach allows us to overcome these problems and prove a degenerate KAM theory. Our approach can also be applied to other problems of current interest.
