AbstractThe laser Lorenz equations are studied by reducing them to a form suitable for application of an extension of a method developed by Kuzmak. The method generates a flow in a Poincaré section from which it is inferred that a certain Hopf bifurcation is always subcritical.

Abstract Understanding of dynamical behavior in the parameter-state space plays a vital role in the optimal design and motion control of mechanical governor systems. By combining the GPU parallel computing technique with two determinate indicators, namely, the Lyapunov exponents and Poincaré section, this paper presents a detailed study on the two-parameter dynamics of a mechanical governor system with different time delays. By identifying different system responses in two-parameter plane, it is shown that the complexity of evolutionary process can increase significantly with the increase of time delay. The path-following strategy and the time domain collocation method are used to explore the details of the evolutionary process. An interesting phenomenon is found in the dynamical behavior of the delayed governor system, which can cause the inconsistency between the number of intersection points of certain periodic response on Poincaré section and the actual period characteristic. For example, the commonly exhibited period-1 orbit may have two or more intersection points on the Poincaré section instead of one point. Furthermore, the variations of basins of attraction are also discussed in the plane of initial history conditions to demonstrate the observed multistability phenomena and chaotic transitions.

Regularized point-vortex simulations are presented for vortex sheet motion in planar and axisymmetric flow. The sheet forms a vortex pair in the planar case and a vortex ring in the axisymmetric case. Initially the sheet rolls up into a smooth spiral, but irregular small-scale features develop later in time: gaps and folds appear in the spiral core and a thin wake is shed behind the vortex ring. These features are due to the onset of chaos in the vortex sheet flow. Numerical evidence and qualitative theoretical arguments are presented to support this conclusion. Past the initial transient the flow enters a quasi-steady state in which the vortex core undergoes a small-amplitude oscillation about a steady mean. The oscillation is a time-dependent variation in the elliptic deformation of the core vorticity contours; it is nearly time-periodic, but over long times it exhibits period-doubling and transitions between rotation and nutation. A spectral analysis is performed to determine the fundamental oscillation frequency and this is used to construct a Poincaré section of the vortex sheet flow. The resulting section displays the generic features of a chaotic Hamiltonian system, resonance bands and a heteroclinic tangle, and these features are well-correlated with the irregular features in the shape of the vortex sheet. The Poincaré section also has KAM curves bounding regions of integrable dynamics in which the sheet rolls up smoothly. The chaos seen here is induced by a self-sustained oscillation in the vortex core rather than external forcing. Several well-known vortex models are cited to justify and interpret the results.

In this paper, chaos in the smooth Chua's equation is revisited. To confirm the chaotic behavior in the smooth Chua's equation demonstrated in numerical studies, we resort to Poincaré section and Poincaré map technique and present a computer assisted verification of existence of horseshoe chaos by virtue of topological horseshoes theory.

AbstractWe describe the dynamical behavior of isolated old ( ⩾ 1Gyr) objects-like Neutron Stars (NSs). These objects are evolved under smooth, time-independent, gravitational potentials, axisymmetric and with a triaxial dark halo. We analysed the geometry of the dynamics and applied the Poincaré section for comparing the influence of different birth velocities. The inspection of the maximal asymptotic Lyapunov (λ) exponent shows that dynamical behaviors of the selected orbits are nearly the same as the regular orbits with 2-DOF, both in axisymmetric and triaxial when (ϕ, qz)= (0,0). Conversely, a few chaotic trajectories are found with a rotated triaxial halo when (ϕ, qz)= (90, 1.5). The tube orbits preserve direction of their circulation around either the long or short axis as appeared in the triaxial potential, even when every initial condition leads to different orientations. The Poincaré section shows that there are 2-D invariant tori and invariant curves (islands) around stable periodic orbits that bound to the surface of 3-D tori. The regularity of several prototypical orbits offer the means to identify the phase-space regions with localized motions and to determine their environment in different models, because they can occupy significant parts of phase-space depending on the potential. This is of particular importance in Galactic Dynamics.

A class of transformations on $[0,1]^2$, which includes transformations obtained by a Poincaré section of the Lorenz equation, is considered. We prove a formula which connects local dimension, entropy and characteristic exponents of ergodic invariant probability measures.
