Gallavotti Title: Analyticity in the coupling constant of quasi periodic motions in smooth nonanalytic systems Abstract: Solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation for integrating a nonanalytic perturbation of an integrable system can be analytic in the perturbation coupling constant even though the perturbation itself is non analytic.
