Abstract
We present a very simple and fast method to separate chaotic from regu lar orbits for non-integrable Hamiltonian systems. We use the standard map and the Henon and Heiles potential as model problems and show tha t this method appears to be at least as sensitive as the frequency-ana lysis method. We also study the chaoticity of asteroidal motion.
