Research paper thumbnail of Dynamics at infinity and other global dynamical aspects of Shimizu–Morioka equations

This system is a simplified model proposed for studying the dynamics of the well-known Lorenz system for large Rayleigh numbers. Using the Poincaré compactification of a polynomial vector field in R 3 , we give a complete description of the dynamics of Shimizu-Morioka equations at infinity. Then using analytical and numerical tools, we investigate for the case α = 0 the existence of infinitely many singularly degenerate heteroclinic cycles, each one consisting of an invariant set formed by a line of equilibria together with a heteroclinic orbit connecting two of these equilibria. The dynamical consequences of the existence of these cycles are also investigated. The present study is

Research paper thumbnail of Bifurcations at infinity, invariant algebraic surfaces, homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits and centers of a new Lorenz-like chaotic system

Nonlinear Dynamics, Dec 1, 2015

This system has been proposed as a new type of chaotic system, having additional complex dynamical properties to the well-known chaotic systems defined in R 3 , alike Lorenz, Rössler, Chen and other. By using the Poincaré compactification for a polynomial vector field in R 3 , we study the dynamics of this system on the Poincaré ball, showing that it undergoes interesting types of bifurcations at infinity. We also investigate the existence of first integrals and study the dynamical behavior of the system on the invariant algebraic surfaces defined by these first integrals, showing the existence of families of homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits and centers contained on these invariant surfaces.

They are one-dimensional dynamical systems, which arise in the study of certain higher dimensional flows, for example the Lorenz flow and the Cherry flow. In this paper we prove hyperbolicity of renormalization acting on C 3 dissipative gap mappings, and show that the topological conjugacy classes of infinitely renormalizable gap mappings are C 1 manifolds.

Under small timeperiodic perturbation, this equilibrium becomes a normally hyperbolic line of singularities at infinity. We show that the perturbed system may present homoclinic bifurcations, leading to the existence of transverse intersections between the stable and unstable manifolds of such a normally hyperbolic line of singularities. The global study concerning the infinity is performed using the Poincaré compactification in polar coordinates, from which we obtain a system defined on a set equivalent to a solid torus in R 3 , whose boundary plays the role of the infinity. The transversality of the manifolds is proved using the Melnikov method and implies, via the Birkhoff-Smale Theorem, a complex dynamical behaviour of the perturbed system solutions in the finite part of the phase space. Numerical simulations are performed in order to illustrate this behaviour, which could be called ''the chaos arising from infinity'', since it depends on the global structure of the Liénard equation, including the points at infinity. Although applied to a particular case, the analysis presented provides a geometrical approach to study periodic perturbations of homoclinic (or heteroclinic) loops to infinity of any planar polynomial vector field.

Research paper thumbnail of Phase Transitions for One-Dimensional Lorenz-Like Expanding Maps

We apply this to prove that quasi-Höldercontinuous potentials (see, subsection 2.2 for definition) have at most one equilibrium measure and we construct a family of continuous but not Hölder and neither weak Hölder continuous potentials for which we observe phase transitions. Indeed, this class includes all Hölder and weak-Hölder continuous potentials and form an open and dense subset of C([0, 1], R), with the usual C 0 topology. This give a certain generalization of the results proved in [2].

At the some time, we show the importance of the geometric hypothesis to obtain conclusions involving the parameter, when dealing with families of mapa, implying abundance and prevalence, in the senso of Lebesgue measure, of chaotic phenomerlon outside regular hyperbolicity.

More specifically, the concepts of recurrence and invariance of a measure by a flow are discussed, and two versions of the classical Poincaré Recurrence Theorem are presented. The results allow us to soften the hypothesis of the classical Poincaré Recurrence Theorem by admitting non-smooth multivalued flows. The methods used in order to prove the results involve elements from both measure theory and topology.

For small discontinuous perturbations of these systems we develop a Melnikov-like function to control the persistence of periodic solutions contained in A. When n = 3w e provide normal forms for the piecewise linear case. Finally we apply the Melnikov-like function to study discontinuous perturbations of the given normal forms.

We prove that the lamination of infinitely renormalizable maps (or else maps with irrational rotation numbers) has analytic leaves in a natural subset of a Banach space of analytic maps of this kind. With maps having Hölder continuous derivative and derivative bounded away from zero, we also prove Hölder continuity of holonomies of the lamination and also of conjugacies between maps having the same combinatorics.
