Relative periodic solutions are ubiquitous in dynamical systems with continuous symmetry. Recently, Sandstede, Scheel and Wulff derived a center bundle theorem, reducing local bifurcation from relative periodic solutions to a finite-dimensional problem. Independently, Lamb and Melbourne showed how to systematically study local bifurcation from isolated periodic solutions with discrete spatiotemporal symmetries.In this paper, we show how the center bundle theorem, when combined with certain group theoretic results, reduces bifurcation from relative periodic solutions to bifurcation from isolated periodic solutions. In this way, we obtain a systematic approach to the study of local bifurcation from relative periodic solutions.

We report the results of an experimental study of flow in a Taylor–Couette system where the usual circular outer cylinder is replaced by one with a square cross-section. The objective is to determine the validity of low-dimensional dynamical systems as a descriptive framework for flows in a domain without the special continuous symmetry of the original problem. We focus on a restricted version of the flow, where the steady flow consists of a single cell, thereby minimizing the multiplicity of solutions. The steady-state bifurcation structure is found to be qualitatively unchanged from that of the standard system. A complex but self-consistent bifurcation structure is uncovered for time-dependent flows, culminating in observations of dynamics similar to those of the finite-dimensional Sil’nikov mechanism. Such behaviour has been observed in the standard system with continuous azimuthal symmetry. The present results extend the range of closed-flow problems where there is an apparent connection between the infinite-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and finite-dimensional dynamical systems.

In the paper it is shown that the two-dimensional dynamical system of equations is Darboux integrable if and only if its characteristic Lie algebra is finite-dimensional. The class of systems having a full set of fist and second order integrals is described.

Expert knowledge elicitation (EKE) aims at obtaining individual representations of experts’ beliefs and render them in the form of probability distributions or functions. In many cases the elicited distributions differ and the challenge in Bayesian inference is then to find ways to reconcile discrepant elicited prior distributions. This paper proposes the parallel analysis of clusters of prior distributions through a hierarchical method for clustering distributions and that can be readily extended to functional data. The proposed method consists of (i) transforming the infinite-dimensional problem into a finite-dimensional one, (ii) using the Hellinger distance to compute the distances between curves and thus (iii) obtaining a hierarchical clustering structure. In a simulation study the proposed method was compared to k-means and agglomerative nesting algorithms and the results showed that the proposed method outperformed those algorithms. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated through an EKE experiment and other functional data sets.

Studies of the use of oscillations for control purposes continue to reveal new practically important properties unique to the oscillatory open and closed loop control laws. The goal of this paper is to enlarge the available set of analytical tools for such studies by introducing a method of analysis of the qualitative changes in the behavior of dynamical systems caused by the zero mean parametric excitations. After summarizing and slightly refining a technique developed previously for the finite dimensional nonlinear systems, we consider an extension of this technique to a class of distributed parameter systems (DPS) governed by semilinear parabolic equations. The technique presented is illustrated by several examples.

Several numerical approaches have been developed to capture nonlinear effects of dynamical systems. In this paper we present a mixed shooting-harmonic balance method to solve large mechanical systems with local nonlinearities efficiently. The Harmonic Balance Method as well as the shooting method have both their pros and cons. The proposed mixed shooting-HBM approach combines the efficiency of HBM and the accuracy of the shooting method and has therefore advantages of both.

Abstract A Wavelet-Galerkin procedure is introduced in order to obtain periodic solutions of multidegrees-of-freedom dynamical systems with periodic time-varying coefficients. The procedure is then used to study the vibrations of parametrically excited mechanical systems. As problems of stability analysis of nonlinear systems are often reduced after linearization to problems involving linear differential systems with time-varying coefficients, we demonstrate the method provides efficient practical computations of Floquet exponents and consequently allows to give estimators for stability/instability levels. A few academic examples illustrate the relevance of the method.

AbstractAn AF flow is a one-parameter automorphism group of an AF C*-algebra A such that there exists an increasing sequence of invariant finite dimensional sub-C*-algebras whose union is dense in A. In this paper, a classification of C*-dynamical systems of this form up to equivariant isomorphism is presented. Two pictures of the actions are given, one in terms of a modified Bratteli diagram/pathspace construction, and one in terms of a modified K0 functor.
