Abstract: We consider $ C^2$-Hamiltonian functions on compact $ 4$-dimensional symplectic manifolds to study the elliptic dynamics of the Hamiltonian flow, namely the so-called Newhouse dichotomy. We show that for any open set $ U$ intersecting a far from Anosov regular energy surface, there is a nearby Hamiltonian having an elliptic closed orbit through $ U$. Moreover, this implies that, for far from Anosov regular energy surfaces of a $ C^2$-generic Hamiltonian, the elliptic closed orbits are generic.
