Double Symmetries

In reversible dynamical systems, it is of great importance to understand symmetric features. The aim of this paper is to explore symmetric periodic points of reversible maps on planar domains invariant under a reflection. We extend Franks’ theorem on a dichotomy of the number of periodic points of area-preserving maps on the annulus to symmetric periodic points of area-preserving reversible maps. Interestingly, even a non-symmetric periodic point guarantees infinitely many symmetric periodic points. We prove an analogous statement for symmetric odd-periodic points of area-preserving reversible maps isotopic to the identity, which can be applied to dynamical systems with double symmetries. Our approach is simple, elementary, and far from Franks’ proof. We also show that a reversible map has a symmetric fixed point if and only if it is a twist map which generalizes a boundary twist condition on the closed annulus in the sense of Poincaré–Birkhoff. Applications to symmetric periodic orbits in reversible dynamical systems with two degrees of freedom are briefly discussed.

Area Preserving

Magnetic islands in toroidal heliac stellarator vacuum fields are explored with Hamiltonian chaos theory and the associated area-preserving maps. Magnetic field line island chains are examined first analytically, with perturbation theory, and then numerically to produce Poincaré sections, which are compared with H−1 Heliac stellarator puncture plot diagrams. Rotational transform profiles are chosen to permit the comparison of twist map and nontwist map predictions with field line behaviour computed by a field line tracing computer program and observed experimentally.

Area Preserving

AbstractThe study of area preserving maps of manifolds has an extensive history in the theory of dynamical systems. One interest has been in the behaviour of such maps near an isolated fixed point. In 1974 Carl Simon proved the existence of an upper bound for the index of an isolated fixed point for Ck area preserving diffeomorphisms of a surface. We extend his result to homeomorphisms of an orientable two manifold. The proof utilizes the notion of free modification, developed by Morton Brown, and enlarges the scope of the problem to the consideration of ‘nice’ measures, i.e. uniformly equivalent to Lebesgue measure on compact sets. By suitably modifying the homeomorphism and the measure, we obtain the following theorem.

Area Preserving

In this paper we reconsider, in a purely topological framework, the concept of bend-twist map previously studied in the analytic setting by Tongren Ding in (2007). We obtain some results about the existence and multiplicity of fixed points which are related to the classical Poincaré-Birkhoff twist theorem for area-preserving maps of the annulus; however, in our approach, like in Ding (2007), we do not require measure-preserving conditions. This makes our theorems in principle applicable to nonconservative planar systems. Some of our results are also stable for small perturbations. Possible applications of the fixed point theorems for topological bend-twist maps are outlined in the last section.

Studies of nonlinear dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom show that the behavior of these systems is significantly different as compared with the behavior of systems with less than two degrees of freedom. These findings motivated us to carry out a survey of research focusing on the behavior of high-dimensional chaos, which include onset of chaos, routes to chaos and the persistence of chaos. This paper reports on various methods of generating and investigating nonlinear, dissipative and driven dynamical systems that exhibit high-dimensional chaos, and reviews recent results in this new field of research. We study high-dimensional Lorenz, Duffing, Rössler and Van der Pol oscillators, modified canonical Chua's circuits, and other dynamical systems and maps, and we formulate general rules of high-dimensional chaos. Basic techniques of chaos control and synchronization developed for high-dimensional dynamical systems are also reviewed.

Almost All

We show that for almost every ergodic $S$-integer dynamical system the radius of convergence of the dynamical zeta function is no larger than $\exp(-\frac{1}{2}h_{\rm top})<1$. In the arithmetic case almost every zeta function is irrational.We conjecture that for almost every ergodic $S$-integer dynamical system the radius of convergence of the zeta function is exactly $\exp(-h_{\rm top})<1$ and the zeta function is irrational.In an important geometric case (the $S$-integer systems corresponding to isometric extensions of the full $p$-shift or, more generally, linear algebraic cellular automata on the full $p$-shift) we show that the conjecture holds with the possible exception of at most two primes $p$.Finally, we explicitly describe the structure of $S$-integer dynamical systems as isometric extensions of (quasi-)hyperbolic dynamical systems.

The Stability

In this paper, the analytical dynamics for singularity, switchability, and bifurcations of a 2-DOF friction-induced oscillator is investigated. The analytical conditions of the domain flow switchability at the boundaries and edges are developed from the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems, and the switchability conditions of boundary flows from domain and edge flows are presented. From the singularity and switchability of flow to the boundary, grazing, sliding and edge bifurcations are obtained. For a better understanding of the motion complexity of such a frictional oscillator, switching sets and mappings are introduced, and mapping structures for periodic motions are adopted. Using an eigenvalue analysis, the stability and bifurcation analysis of periodic motions in the friction-induced system is carried out. Analytical predictions and parameter maps of periodic motions are performed. Illustrations of periodic motions and the analytical conditions are completed. The analytical conditions and methodology can be applied to the multi-degrees-of-freedom frictional oscillators in the same fashion.
