Contents
In this talk we will focus on the use of the so-called jet transport technique to compute normal forms around periodic orbits of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Jet transport is a technique to compute high order differentials of a given numerical algorithm, with respect to initial data and/or parameters. Combining this method with a numerical integrator for ODEs allows to compute Taylor expansions of Poincar\'e maps at a given fixed point. From this power expansion it is not difficult to compute the normal form at this point. Hence, this allows to compute high order approximations to the invariant manifolds around a given periodic orbit. We note that this approach can be used in situations that are far from integrable.
