We consider nearly integrable, non-isochronous, a-priori unstable Hamiltonian systems with a (trigonometric polynomial) -perturbation which does not preserve the unperturbed tori. We prove the existence of Arnold diffusion with diffusion time by a variational method which does not require the existence of «transition chains of tori» provided by KAM theory. We also prove that our estimate of the diffusion time is optimal as a consequence of a general stability result proved via classical perturbation...
