Area Preserving

AbstractIt has been observed that the famous Feigenbaum–Coullet–Tresser period-doubling universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of ℝ2. A renormalization approach has been used in a computer-assisted proof of existence of an area-preserving map with orbits of all binary periods in Eckmannet al[Existence of a fixed point of the doubling transformation for area-preserving maps of the plane.Phys. Rev. A 26(1) (1982), 720–722; A computer-assisted proof of universality for area-preserving maps.Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 47(1984), 1–121]. As is the case with all non-trivial universality problems in non-dissipative systems in dimensions more than one, no analytic proof of this period-doubling universality exists to date. We argue that the period-doubling renormalization fixed point for area-preserving maps is almost one dimensional, in the sense that it is close to the following Hénon-like (after a coordinate change) map:where ϕ solvesWe then give a ‘proof’ of existence of solutions of small analytic perturbations of this one-dimensional problem, and describe some of the properties of this solution. The ‘proof’ consists of an analytic argument for factorized inverse branches of ϕ together with verification of several inequalities and inclusions of subsets of ℂ numerically. Finally, we suggest an analytic approach to the full period-doubling problem for area-preserving maps based on its proximity to the one-dimensional case. In this respect, the paper is an exploration of possible analytic machinery for a non-trivial renormalization problem in a conservative two-dimensional system.

Renormalization Theory

AbstractThe period doubling renormalization operator was introduced by Feigenbaum and by Coullet and Tresser in the 1970s to study the asymptotic small-scale geometry of the attractor of one-dimensional systems that are at the transition from simple to chaotic dynamics. This geometry turns out not to depend on the choice of the map under rather mild smoothness conditions. The existence of a unique renormalization fixed point that is also hyperbolic among generic smooth-enough maps plays a crucial role in the corresponding renormalization theory. The uniqueness and hyperbolicity of the renormalization fixed point were first shown in the holomorphic context, by means that generalize to other renormalization operators. It was then proved that, in the space ofC2+αunimodal maps, forα>0, the period doubling renormalization fixed point is hyperbolic as well. In this paper we study what happens when one approaches from below the minimal smoothness thresholds for the uniqueness and for the hyperbolicity of the period doubling renormalization generic fixed point. Indeed, our main result states that in the space ofC2unimodal maps the analytic fixed point is not hyperbolic and that the same remains true when adding enough smoothness to geta prioribounds. In this smoother class, calledC2+∣⋅∣, the failure of hyperbolicity is tamer than inC2. Things get much worse with just a bit less smoothness thanC2, as then even the uniqueness is lost and other asymptotic behavior becomes possible. We show that the period doubling renormalization operator acting on the space ofC1+Lipunimodal maps has infinite topological entropy.

Area Preserving

AbstractThe requirement that the graph of a function be invariant under a linear map is equivalent to a functional equation of f. For area preserving maps M(det (M) = 1), the functional equation is equivalent to an (easily solved) linear one, or to a quadratic one of the formfor all Here 2C = Trace (M). It is shown that (Q) admits continuous solutions ⇔ M has real eigenvalues ⇔ (Q) has linear solutions f(x) = λx ⇔ |C| ≥ 1. For |c| = 1 or C < – 1, (Q) only admits a few simple solutions. For C > 1, (Q) admits a rich supply of continuous solutions. These are parametrised by an arbitrary function, and described in the sense that a construction is given for the graphs of the functions which solve (Q).

Area Preserving

We study the qualitative dynamics of two-parameter families of planar maps of the form F^e(x, y) = (y, -ex+f(y)), where f :R -> R is a C 3 map with a single critical point and negative Schwarzian derivative. The prototype of such maps is the family f(y) = u —y 2 or (in different coordinates) f(y) = Ay(1 —y), in which case F^ e is the Henon map. The maps F e have constant Jacobian determinant e and, as e -> 0, collapse to the family f^. The behaviour of such one-dimensional families is quite well understood, and we are able to use their bifurcation structures and information on their non-wandering sets to obtain results on both local and global bifurcations of F/ ue , for small e . Moreover, we are able to extend these results to the area preserving family F/u. 1 , thereby obtaining (partial) bifurcation sets in the (/u, e)-plane. Among our conclusions we find that the bifurcation sequence for periodic orbits, which is restricted by Sarkovskii’s theorem and the kneading theory for one-dimensional maps, is quite different for two-dimensional families. In particular, certain periodic orbits that appear at the end of the one-dimensional sequence appear at the beginning of the area preserving sequence, and infinitely many families of saddle node and period doubling bifurcation curves cross each other in the ( /u, e ) -parameter plane between e = 0 and e = 1. We obtain these results from a study of the homoclinic bifurcations (tangencies of stable and unstable manifolds) of F /u.e and of the associated sequences of periodic bifurcations that accumulate on them. We illustrate our results with some numerical computations for the orientation-preserving Henon map.

Abstract A linear stability analysis is performed on two simplified models representing a one-dimensional flame between oxidizer and fuel reservoirs and a two-dimensional “edge-flame” between the same reservoirs but above a cold, inert wall. Comparison of the eigenvalue spectra for both models is performed to discern the validity of extending the results from the one-dimensional problem to the two-dimensional problem. Of primary interest is the influence on flame stability of thermal-diffusive imbalances, i.e. non-unity Lewis numbers. Flame oscillations are observed when Le &gt; 1, and cellular flames are witnessed when Le &lt; 1. It is found that when Le &gt; 1 the characteristics of flame behavior are consistent between the two models. Furthermore, when Le &lt; 1, the models are found to be in good agreement with respect to the magnitude of the critical wave numbers. Results from the coarse mesh analysis of the two-dimensional system are presented and compared to the one-dimensional eigenvalue spectra. Additionally, an examination of low reactant convection is undertaken. It is concluded that for low flow rates the behavior in one and two dimensions are similar qualitatively and quantitatively.

We extend the theory of rotation vectors to homeomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus that are homotopic to a Dehn twist. We define a one-dimensional rotation number and recreate the theory of the homotopic case to the identity case. We prove that if such a map is area preserving and has mean rotation number zero, then it must have a fixed point. We prove that the rotation set is a compact interval, and that if the rotation interval contains two distinct numbers, then for any rational number in the rotation set there exists a periodic point with that rotation number. Finally, we prove that any interval with rational endpoints can be realized as the rotation set of a map homotopic to a Dehn twist.
