We formulate and justify rigorously a numerically efficient criterion for
the computation of the analyticity breakdown of quasi-periodic solutions
in Symplectic maps and 1-D Statistical Mechanics models. Depending on the
physical interpretation of the model, the analyticity breakdown may
correspond to the onset of mobility of dislocations, or of spin waves (in
the 1-D models) and to the onset of global transport in symplectic twist
maps.
The criterion we propose here is based on the blow-up of Sobolev norms of
the hull functions. The theorems that justify the criterion are based on
an abstract implicit function theorems, which unifies several results in
the literature. The proofs lead to fast algorithms, which we have
implemented. We will show numerical implementations of the criterion.
