AbstractTidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tidal field of a massive black hole, triggering a chain of events which is – so far – incompletely understood. However, the disruption process has been studied extensively for almost half a century, and unlike the later stages of a TDE, our understanding of the disruption itself is reasonably well converged. In this Chapter, we review both analytical and numerical models for stellar tidal disruption. Starting with relatively simple, order-of-magnitude physics, we review models of increasing sophistication, the semi-analytic “affine formalism,” hydrodynamic simulations of the disruption of polytropic stars, and the most recent hydrodynamic results concerning the disruption of realistic stellar models. Our review surveys the immediate aftermath of disruption in both typical and more unusual TDEs, exploring how the fate of the tidal debris changes if one considers non-main sequence stars, deeply penetrating tidal encounters, binary star systems, and sub-parabolic orbits. The stellar tidal disruption process provides the initial conditions needed to model the formation of accretion flows around quiescent massive black holes, and in some cases may also lead to directly observable emission, for example via shock breakout, gravitational waves or runaway nuclear fusion in deeply plunging TDEs.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of a one-dimensional cellular neural network (CNN) made of Chua’s circuits which mimics a reaction-diffusion medium is considered. An approach is presented to analyse the properties of this reaction-diffusion CNN through the characteristics of the attractors of an associated infinite-dimensional dynamical system with a matrix phase space. Using this approach, the spatiotemporal correlation dimension of the CNN’s spatiotemporal patterns is computed over various ranges of the diffusion coupling parameter, length of the chain, and initial conditions. It is shown that in a finite-dimensional projection of the matrix phase space of the CNN, both low- and high-dimensional attractors corresponding to different initial conditions coexist.

We applied an approach to obtain the natural frequency of the generalized Duffing oscillatoru¨+u+α3u3+α5u5+α7u7+⋯+αnun=0and a nonlinear oscillator with a restoring force which is the function of a noninteger power exponent of deflectionu¨+αu|u|n−1=0. This approach is based on involved parameters, initial conditions, and collocation points. For any arbitrary power ofn, the approximate frequency analysis is carried out between the natural frequency and amplitude. The solution procedure is simple, and the results obtained are valid for the whole solution domain.
