Abstract

Let $F:{\Bbb R}^2 \to {\Bbb R}^2$ be a mapping that is analytic and area preserving. If $F\neq \hbox{\it identity}$, then every stable fixed point is isolated.

This result can be applied to prove that the number of stable periodic solutions of a fixed period of certain Hamiltonian systems is finite.
