Resonances and asymptotic behavior of Birkhoff series

For hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom a mechanism accounting for the divergence of perturbation series and the asymptotic relation between true and formal dynamics is proposed. In the special case of conservative quadratic maps numerical and analytical support is given for a piecewise geometric structure of the Birkhoff series, that is a sequence of pseudoconvergence radii is found which decreases to zero and is associated with the resonances approaching the rotation angle of the linear map
